Hello,
I had my reversal Nov. 20 and I've noticed I am slightly constipated. Having small skinny little movements / pieces constantly and never feel totally fulfilled. I took a docusate sodium last night and my bowel movements were fullish, but got pretty bad cramping and spasms from it. Also could absolutely not leave the toilet. Wondering what my next move should be. I am considering Metamucil to bulk things up , when did people start taking fibre supplements post reversal?

After my colstomy reversal I was told to stay on a Low fibre diet for 8 weeks, And then add fibre slowly.
