My first post!! Tell me it has to get better!!

[lottie1982]

Hello all.
I had a small bowel resection in March due to Crohns.
Instead of having D i had it the other way where i was lucky if i went once a week.
Now post surgery OMG :ywow:Ussain Bolt eat your heart out! I never realised how quick i could get to the loo!
I have just come off the low residue diet with which i was fine but told not to stay on it too long. Should i go back to it??
Thoughts appreciated

Hi Lottie and welcome! How were you doing while on the low-res diet? If you were doing well, it wouldn't hurt to extend the diet a little longer. Also, perhaps you need to be more careful with re-introducing new foods back into your diet. Don't stop the low-res diet cold turkey, basically. Add one of two new foods in your diet each day and gradually come off the low-res diet.

You may want to post your questions in the Diet and Fitness forum to receive more responses. I hope things calm down for you soon and you start feeling better!

I agree with Jill. And yes, things do get better it just takes time. Hope you get better soon.

Hi Lottie and welcome!

Sorry you are having a hard time now dealing with the D post surgery! Yes, we can all do the loo-dash quicker than any Olympian!!

I would suggest going back on the low-res and also talk to your doc or nurse to let them know what's going on.

Good luck! -Amy
