wife2jeff wrote:Thank you, my husband said it's nice to know the name of the constant "urge" to go. It is relieving to know that there is hope because right now he is feeling pretty hopeless about the whole situation. I looked up the bentyl, not sure that is for his actual issue. He seems to just not have bowel movements, he needs to force them by taking a butt load of milk of magnesia and miralax which ends up with an uncomfortable outcome. Before it gets to that point for a day he will have the very small bowel movements, several a day. It's like a cycle. We have talked to his surgeon at his follow up appointment and his actual words were, I'm surprised your not back to normal, we don't know where to get help with this, his gastrointerologist? go back to his surgeon?? we are at a loss with my husband getting so down.

It just seems that he is going such small amounts and its no where near enough for what he is eating and it's causing him a lot of stomach upset and nausea when this happens. What about fiber capsules have you experienced with those at all?
