Good afternoon, all. I had a resection 9 days ago. My nurse told me to follow a low residue diet which I have done. I spoke to my nurse today due to constipation and she had told me to switch from the low residue and choose porridge for breakfast and brown bread.She also recommended lactulose. I am a little nervous about not keeping with the low residue diet for longer. Has anyone got had a similar situation? Thank you so much. Sharon

I can totally understand your confusion so hopefully some of the group members will pop on soon to share their experiences with you.
