I guess it dwn to what you find easier taking at the end of the day Mandy
I was told to use lactulose, which did help for the first few weeks, dont need it now as my diet is more solid. I never dumped with it but we are all different.
Also, I have a merina coil, but I have almost had totm since the op in October constant, this is the second time it has happened with this coil. The first merina I had I never had a totm in the 5 yrs then the new one got put in and its completely different.
Hope you get some relief soon, I have to say though Mandy, whilst it isnt nice having things wrong, it must be reassuring to you this time that the difficulties you are having at the moment most post oppers on here have experienced too. Its all part and parcel of the recovery process........In my book all good signs that things are heading in the right direction.
