Hi Tammy, I moved your question about hard bowel movements and bleeding after sigmoid colon surgery for diverticulitis to this existing discussion:

May I ask what your surgeon suggested to do? How are you doing today?

I too have had a resection after reversal of an ileostomy. I find that Miralax or it's generic every other day plus Metamucil every night after dinner keeps everything moving smoothly.
