Hi guys,
A quick question for the board experts: after LIS, what is the ideal stool consistency on the Bristol Scale to aid healing? My CRS says to aim for toothpaste consistency, and I'm not sure where that lies on the scale. On Miralax, stool softeners, fiber, water, etc, I am consistently at a 3 (or if I'm lucky it will have the bulk of a 3 but texture of a 4). What do you think: am I overdoing it on Metamucil (2 tsp/day) or fiber? Do I want to be somewhere between a 4 and 5?
After surgery I took MoM and had two days of 5s. I felt like I was healing. Do I abandon the Miralax and go back to MoM?
