LARs operation in December, still recovering. Frequent having to run to loo still!
Hi Sunshine
It’s still early days. The bowel dislikes being disturbed and pulled about
Others will be along soon
Are you keeping a food diary?
I found that a great source when I had my LARS with Ileostomy and later when I had it reversed
Theres a section in the stoma support group for LARS I also found that a great resource.
Things will settle, hope you have a good day

Hi Sunshine4.
I found i needed to stick on low residue diet for a few months. This helped massively but when it took a turn for worse it appeared i needed antibiotics as something had gone off track.
After antibiotics, world was blissful. So do keep your CSN or colorectal nurses updated - i could have saved a messy month or two if i'd shouted earlier

My friend found this a useful link as she recovered from a bowel resection . Worth a read .
