Hello,
I had my reversal Nov. 20 and I've noticed I am slightly constipated. Having small, skinny little movements/pieces constantly and never feel totally fulfilled. I took a docusate sodium last night and my bowel movements were fuller, but I got pretty bad cramping and spasms from it. Also, I could absolutely not leave the toilet. Wondering what my next move should be. I am considering Metamucil to bulk things up. When did people start taking fiber supplements post-reversal?
What type of reversal did you have? Can you feel air moving through? (Yes, gas 😃)

Sorry, I should have mentioned. Ileostomy reversal. Yes, definitely passing gas!
After my colostomy reversal, I was told to stay on a low-fiber diet for 8 weeks, and then add fiber slowly.
Hi, did you have blood the first days after the reversal?
