I mean time of day. How often? What things do you use to help move your bowels like senecot, miralax, metamucil? Any simple things like all bran cereals or activia yogurt. I ask because I recently had to have abdominal surgery because of an ileus and have to radically rethink how I manage my bowels. I had heard that quads can develop a mega-colon because of reduced motility in the bowels. A normal person's colon is 6 feet long. Mine is 12. Here's the thing - nobody seems to know if that's abnormal. I guess the number of 30 year quads that have had abdominal surgery is small. Anyway I used to do my bowel program Monday,Wednesday Friday. I was taking metamucil twice a day and on bowel program days I took a magic cleanse and 2 senecot. I ate bran cereals and activia yogurt every day too.
