Hi,

I have managed to survive just over one and half year after my colorectal surgery,

But I still can't manage my bowel movements, I am suffering from constipation pretty badly every day!

Doctor prescribed me laxative but I don't want to take those, as it's long-term effects are not good ( I know I am dying ) !

Does anyone have similar problem , or can anyone advise me please how to make my life bit better with that.

Other than that I am doing fine now.

Thanks everyone.

Hello Romstar! Yes it's a difficult one!! I had my colon surgery in March this year and it can be tough especially on the post chrmo days!!! I've only had one bad boutique of constipation and dried prunes sorted it out!! Now I keep some in!! Maybe worth a try?? Good luck!!
