Bowel motion cements after colon surgery

Posted by wjb2021 @wjb2021, 5 hours ago

I had 60 cm of colon removed in 2021 and still have frequent bouts of loose stools that interrupt my sleep and daytime activities. Can something like meta mucil help?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Digestive Health Support Group.

I have used Metamucil for constipation and also for the fibre benefit, I do know that if you don’t drink enough water when using this product it can become thick and potentially cause a blockage. I’m not sure if this is why you’re asking but if it were me I wouldn’t do it without talking to your doctor about it, you’ve had a big surgery and a lot removed so I’m not surprised that you’re having some problems with loose stools. There’s many products for these problems but to be sure I’d play it safe, best wishes.

Thanks. I was concerned about that too...
