Advice re Bowel Movements and Diet

I was also going 3-4 times a day and agree with you it is really exhausting! The imodium helped me and reduced the frequency  to 1- 2  a day. It’s important not to get constipated as you know, so I took only 2 tabs max a day, and none if I didn’t open my bowels for a day. If that happened I took a stool softener. Again, only taking 2 sachets max a day.

Play it by ear! I could only eat bland food too… potatoes, bread, eggs, cheese, chicken and ice-cream!

Good luck!

Hi I felt like I needed to go all the time and would be on the loo for hours, but they told me it was due to the internal swelling tricking my brain, they said if I hadn't done anything in a couple of minutes I didn't really need to go. I also had bad wind pain at the beginning and they told me to cut veg specifically brocoli. My diet during treatment consisted of chicken and marmite with cheese on toast for the most part. Have a good Christmas. Xx

Ohhh that's so interesting - I am like how can I sleep throughout the night without needing to go - to during the day needing to go hourly.  

Thanks for sharing Bungle1 - I've gone to a plain diet to see if that helps and one sachet f the laxative before bed.... Fingers crossed xx 

Thanks Franco  - always helpful to hear how others coped - I'm going to keep to the plain food and take a laxative sachet before bed and see how I get on.

Thanks for sharing.
