Calmoseptine has been something I use regularly. I also use aloe Vera. I take Imodium maybe 2/3 a week. The same as metumucil. I've already had a bowel obstruction, so being careful now. I love all your responses. Thank you for sharing what works for you and your journeys. And I do take Ediables(weed) they have all kinds in candy form that actually taste good. That does help my stomach and sometimes even the butt burn a little bit!! I just feel like I can't enjoy my life like before. I thought after the surgery things would be different as far as the discomfort. �� It sucks that I can't take walks, go sight seeing, or even exercise without it burning. Still trying to enjoy life because I've been in and out of the hospital for two years and now I want some kind of normalcy. Ohhhh and my bowel obstruction was a omg make this pain go away like yesterday!! Worse than having babies and kidney stone in my opinion! ������
