I am still in extreme discomfort for the most part, burning cutting feeling and explosive gas. My stools are formed and feel like glass. I could use some diet suggestions for breakfast lunch and dinner. I plan on tryin to eat the same thing every day for at least a week to see if I get improvement. Wondering if I should stop the metamucil and immodium too in case they are making things worse. Take down was july 31. I also started proctofoam for the irritated anal canal - should I increase to three times a day?

3 months post take down? Hmmm. . .the burning, cutting feeling might be something your Dr needs to check out. . .could be a fissure. Try using a sitz bath and see if that helps. If wiping causes the burning sensation, consider getting a nice shower head and see if rinsing instead of wiping helps.
I'd try going without the immodium if your stools are fairly well formed. Not sure about the metamucil. . .fiber should help bulk things up without it getting too compact to easily empty your pouch.
For meal ideas, I'm afraid I don't have a lot. I'm fortunate that I can eat almost anything with no issues. However, here are a couple of meals that are fairly simple
Breakfast: Oatmeal - always bulks me up and easy to pass
Lunch: Cream of potato soup (love this recipe http://www.twopeasandtheirpod....otato-rosemary-soup/)
And. . .uh, that's all I've got.

Thanks. She said to take the proctofoam for all the cuts, but I think I need to clarify on weathere it was a fissure or almost one. I am going to start the oatmeal. Not a big fan but ill probably grow to love it. I've grown a taste for the orange Metamucil actually.
Just saw your post on milk was having the same problems lots of noise spasm. Acidic wheni went to the loo, a Nathropatic and also a dietitian were able to help, I have no gluten ,milk red meat,found red meat made a big difference with the help of a dietician am applying fodmap eating has really helped
