2 weeks out/BM issues solved with diet change; phew!
As per my hospital handout/meal planner, recipe ideas...I have started a regular breakfast of 1/4 c oatmeal (w 1/2 scoop protein powder & some fruit) and a 1/4 piece wheat toast with natural p. butter. I went from crying/pain/medicine assisted BMs to smooth sailing. I was so scared to try bread of any kind...but in this quantity and with this result; I can live with that. Just thought I would put this out there to anyone else having difficulties.
