I had a Colon resection January, 17-2023 I have had bout of severe stomach pains while trying to eat food. I’ve been told I have or had inflammation in my colon. I was advised to have the resection. I’m back to square one. I’m back to daily pain with diarrhea. Except now I also have the constipation and use enemas almost daily. Even after having a day of loose stool the next day I have constipation. I can’t go out to eat. Some days I can’t leave the house. During thanksgiving dinner I hardly ate. Bite after just one bite I doubled over. I’ve lost 15 lbs In A months. I’m tired of scans and colonoscopies without results.
Can anyone, anyone possible help me?

Due to severe adhesions, I was told by my new gastro to take Miralax every day and to modify the dosage to smaller quantities depending on my constipation symptoms. It’s working! And my primary doctor told me it’s safe, and there are no side effects whatsoever.
