For those who are constipated

[tacom]

carrotsmakemefat, story of my life. When I went into surgery, I had fecalization of the small bowel contents. So not only was my colon full of fecal matter, but it was backed up to the point where I had fecal matter in my small intestine as well (this is NOT supposed to happen), and all of those contents were spilling into my abdomen through a gross perforation of my jejunum. It's all quite lovely. 

Exercise, eating healthy, lots of ginger tea, constant water, watching my fiber intake, and miralax (as needed) help me stay regular now that I've gotten rid of the most diseased portion of my bowels.

I just went through the same exact thing. The only thing that worked for me was colonoscopy prep. Yes, it's awful! Hope you feel better!
