After living with a bag for a year I was given the chance of a reversal, which I grabbed with both hands because I had developed a large hernia. At fist I had all the usual 20 trips to the loo a day, but this gradually got better. However, I have come to the point where when I have to go to the loo it seems my bowel is not happy until I have expelled everything from it. This means my stools go from 'normal' to mucus in one episode(as my wife likes to call it), with numerous very urgent trips to the loo, these episodes can last from 2-4 hours. There is no regularity with these episodes they just come as and when they want. I have kept a diary about what foodstuffs don't work for me, mainly anything wind producing (pulses), cooked cheese and salads, I avoid these but the episodes still persist. I have noticed that my digestion system seems to be a lot noisier than it used to be, or maybe I'm more conscious of it now. Anyway the point of this post really is to see if anyone else has/had this issue and have they got around the problem somehow?
