QuestionI am still having problems despite increased fiber with days of little movement and then be fine the next.
I take both Metamucil as well as lactulose as per my doctor's instructions. I do have bloating at times and wondering what I can do or take for this.
I guess at my age diverticulosis as something I have to live with. Surgery at this stage is not an option unless it became severe apparently.
I had a colonoscopy three years ago and not scheduled for another one until maybe next year. I had three polyps removed then. Wondering now if I should request a further test now or is there a point to it.
Answerif you had a colonoscopy and no pre-cancerous polyps, I would go with the advice of the gastro, prob every 5 years..... I would try glycolax or miralax daily.... (a powder) 1 capful daily and see if that helps the symptoms... if you take too much, you will get diarrhea, but if you take enough, it will alleviate those problems.... it is over the counter.
