Guest guest Posted December 10, 2001 Report Share Posted December 10, 2001 Warning, more post op poop talk........ I am helping Marcia (lurker only) who had a DS lap last Monday Dec 3rd with Dr Welker. She is recovering nicely but has very sudden pudding like BMs over which she has no control. Dr Welker okayed both Imodium and both insoluble and soluble fiber to help bulk these up so that she can be more independent. I got the Citrucel gel caps.. Marcia hates the grainy stuff.. anyone use this and know how much and how rapidly it might work? I know how to use the Imodium. Interesting that I didn't have this problem post op. I think I was incontinent of bowel only once. Seems to impact people differently. /Seattle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 10, 2001 Report Share Posted December 10, 2001 She might also try " Fiber Choice, " a chewable version of Citrucel-like substance. During the first several weeks, " puddin' " isn't all that much to worry about. --Steve At 12:54 AM -0800 12/10/01, Montgomery wrote: >Warning, more post op poop talk........
