It's possible that these things are great at evacuation as things went really well last night (after running) and this morning (again, after running). My sample size, unfortunately, is very small but I'll continue to take them to see if they're the cause for the improvements last night and this morning.
On probiotics, how often do you typically take them?

As to probiotics, I take them daily and at higher than maintenance dosage. I read some paper on LARS that theorized that the change in the angles of the colon after resection changed the amount of flora and the type that thrives. My theory is that the probiotic helps keep the kinds of bacteria the gut needs around.

Seemed to help.

All the best
