It is 2 weeks post surgery, how do I stop the runs? I have been on a low residue diet. Have not had a solid bowel in weeks. What have others done?

I wasn't able to eat lactose for several months after but fine now... are you having milk products?
Hi, are you having problems eating? Weight loss? Feeling sick?
Peoples intestines react differently to each other after beinf handled. Some go into a little bit of shock characterised by loose watery stools. They do recover naturally but slowly and everyone is different. If it is causing you discomfort or you are partially incontinent then it's time to see the Dr. There's no point sending you home from hospital if you can't eat or retain fluids. As someone who's done that, I can tell you it never ends well. Good luck.

I feel great. Just loose bowels, but It's only been three weeks. So did you guys try any fiber? I have not had much fiber, I had some fiber one and fruit and it seemed to be a little more solid.
