Well I've been trying various things and Miralax seems to keep things the softest causing less pain. I tried beneficent but it bulks up my stool making things larger which is no help. I still eat veggies and fruit of course oatmeal and take a probiotic but if I stop the Miralax things firm up and the pain comes back. Oh I've added aloe Vera to calm my ibs and sooth my stomach which helps. It's a constant battle though.
Yes I had LIS in 2003 and was fine until this year. My CRS says some people just get tight again. I had good success the first time and will try to avoid a 2nd surgery if I can. The key to success is a really good CRS.
