I have this as a very chronic problem since my surgery.. (used to be the opposite, and carried imodium with me everywhere)..
One thing about adding fiber.. if you're not getting your fluids in, this will only make the painful poo problem worse.. BTDT.
I'm instructed to take sennekot as needed... but because I'm loathe to take extra meds, I sometimes go too long before I take it..
This past weekend was very busy and I ended up with extremely painful BM this week.. felt like birthing that 10 lb baby I had years ago.
I've upped my fluids again.
(and before someone asks.. I also eat at least one container of yogurt with live, active cultures a day.. and I take a probotic.. not helping a whole hellava lot!)
