I'm 4 mos. out from surgery, which consisted of liver resection and removal of approx. 20 cm of intestine (near recto-sigmoid junction). I was back to normal diet very shortly after surgery. Bowel function hasn't been terrible, but I do get occasion bouts of very liquid diarrhea - which often hits me with very little advance notice. Another relevant fact, ended chemo about 3 weeks ago, so I suppose there could be some lingering effects of that.
My surgeon suggested I take Metamucil, or something like it. Given that such products are intended to produce looser stools - I have trouble understanding how that would help me, rather than making things worse.
Any suggestions?
Much appreciated.
