Thank you for your reply. I did see my GP and also had a call from my surgeon from the hospital. He thinks my body hasn’t adjusted to the new plumbing so to speak and try taking Metamucil to slow things down and firm things up - it’s slowed me going to the bathroom a bit but I’m still needing to go every 3-4 hours. It’s so annoying as I feel I can’t go anywhere or do anything.
My surgeon wants me to update him in a week. One thing that I’ve never seen ever, I have jelly like stool, never heard of that before.
Reading other stories from people on here makes me feel at least I’m not a lone with this problem. I may try taking probiotics but have no idea of good ones to take, any ideas ?

Bless your heart. People who have never had a colon/bowel disorder that means you not only can’t leave your home, you sometimes can’t go further than the threshold to the Loo, will never understand the mental pain that comes with it. I am currently in control of my microscopic Colitis, but 7 months of sheer hell preceded that state.

I would ask my doc about adding anything this week - even probiotics.

Hang in .. and keep us posted.
