Hi all,
I know that DS'ers have foods that they avoid that have them running to the bathroom. What might some of your foods be? At nearly 2 months out, I have Constipation and have always battled it since I was an infant. I take Miralax 3 X a day, colace, Fiber gummies, magnesium citrate 3 X a day and ingest plenty of liquid and added fat bombs which get me to about 150 g a day. This has also resulted in very little weightloss overall and in the last 5 weeks. I have lost 14 lbs since surgery and 4 lbs in the last 5 weeks. Although I go every day, they are rock hard and painful. I even tried sugar free candy because I have read that can have adverse bathroom effects....nothing. So, what makes you go? Any help is appreciated. My next step is to go see a gastro....which is the only other suggestion my surgeon can offer.

Although I hate this for you, I do feel better knowing that I am not alone. Gas X will aid in those gas pains. I ate them every 4 hours the first couple of weeks.
