Bile acid diarrhea and bowel paralysis

hi, Not exactly the same, but I am awaiting a colon resection for 11th Jan. Currently, I am eating very low fibre diet, in very small portions, throughout the day. Going to the loo is not pleasant at all. Currently constipated. Feels like it will happen, then doesnt. So bloating and gas follows all day which is not very nice! (good thing I am in self-isolation anyway)

Would just like some normality back to it all, but I think once op is complete, It will be a few months before things start to feel normal again.

Take care, hope you can get some help.

Your post caught my eye for a totally different reason . But wondered if you have used Pubmed search engine . I find it quite useful for the more current research articles as long as you remember to read the date !!! 
Can I ask if you are aware of any acid reflux symptoms? 
Hope you get a solution to it .

Hello and thanks for your interest. I have seen 4 medical professionals in the last 2 weeks, 2 digestive surgeons and 2 stomatherapists. Originally I was planning to have colostomy put back in but I have just been given an irrigation kit to try out for a couple of weeks and that might cut down my toilet use.

I've just checked out pubmed. Not quite as exciting as ClubMed but far more useful! 

Many thanks

Let me know how the resection went. Fingers crossed. 

Brilliant.
