Did anyone take metamucil to help with constipation when having a rectocele?

    Hi, no I was not given anything for constipation after my pelvic floor repair. I just took it upon myself to eat lots of fruits, especially oranges, to help in that direction.

    After a couple of weeks things settled down to normal.

    Hi, I had a rectocele repair and it failed after a few weeks. I had awful constipation, and think that was one of the reasons for failure. I now take laxido every day, plus magnesium citrate 500 mgs, on the advice of a colorectal surgeon, and have no problems.
