4 weeks ileostomy reversal and I am having lower stomach bloating and constipation everyday! I take colace and miralx with no relief. Is this normal? When will I go back to being regular

Hello. Your colon has little hairs inside. They slowly went to sleep. Now there is activity in there, so they are slowly waking up. Be patient. Before you know it, you will be as good as new!!!
