Hi DR. K. Yes, I do have frequent constipation. If I do not take a product like Oxy Powder, which cleanses the colon with oxygen, I will have a large volume of hard stools of small round balls. If I take Oxy Powder, the stools are sometimes hard, sometimes not, but can be rather large. I think if I do not correct the large stool problem, I will not be able to correct the DR problem.

Hi back,
I agree with them fact that constipation a grab ates your situation.
On their other hand DR causes constipation too.
To my opinion at your situation you need to have a healthy diet plus oxypowder.
The healthy diet and lifestyle consist on :
- use plenty of water
- avoid unnecessary stress
- use olive oil three teaspoons per day
- use fresh fruits and vegetables
- increase physical activity like swimming
It is important to discuss with surgeon about DR. Correction of DR will help to improve constipation too.
Hope it was helpful to you!
