Hi
I was in similar position for some time ( maybe 4-5 months) needing washroom 20-30 times .
Has he been tested for C Difficile infection ? If not , get it done.
Also I feel that exercise especially yoga exercises for stomach area may help.
Prayers for him.

18 months ago I had my large intestine removed. I have Lynch syndrome and it was my second bout of colon cancer. My small intestine it’s attached to my rectum. My life has been a living hell since surgery. My weight dropped from 198 to 166. I have no energy, my stomach and intestines are always bloa...

Have you seen a nutritionist? I wonder if TPN would be recommended for your situation. Maybe it’s worth asking your doctors about.

Thanks for your reply Lee!! As far as an enema is concerned I don’t think I need that - I have no problem going to the bathroom it’s just everything that happens before(bloating, abdominal pain, and overall being uncomfortable). You mentioned a pretty basic bland diet that reminds me of what I was a...

So sorry you are going through this. 3 things I am going to suggest. 1) BRAT diet: Bananas, Rice, Apples, Toast. This is more of a short term solution. A very bland diet. 2) If you have not already done so, check out the UOAA (United Ostomy Association of America). Might be something you want to loo...

Has he had more tests/scans done to find out what may be going on? If he’s going that many times a day that’s serious and sounds like more than a result of his surgery, given it was so long ago. For the short term Imodium in higher doses can help if he hasn’t tried this already. If it were me, I wou...

You didn't mention whether he has tried immodium. That's the first thing most people try, and I seem to recall that CRC patients are advised that they can exceed the recommended daily dose. The other thing I can think of is plain psyllium. It can regulate stool consistency and help both constipation...

Hi Hyesko and welcome, I don't have any real words of wisdom but think it is great that your brother in law has people in his life trying to help! I can not imagine going that many times a day, the poor guy. I am wondering what his surgeon thinks? I did not enjoy my ileostomy but would greatly prefe...
