diet control. find some web forums with people with smaller colons.
This area is still healing. You might try adding a container of yogurt or two to your diet daily to help restore the normal bacteria in your bowel. This may help slow down the diarrhea that you are having. Also, if allowed, increased amounts of fresh fruits, vegetables and fiber containing breads and cereals to increase the bulk in your stools might also help. Hopefully, your surgeon has given you a list of allowed foods that you can or should be eating.
