I have the same problem.Very large and painfull stools that stop up the toliet sometimes.My colonoscopy last week confirmed a bad case of diverticular disease.I had such a bad attack in January the paramedics had to take me to the hospital.But everything else on my test was good.Docs had been talking about removing part of my colon that really had me panicked.I have found that too much fiber at a meal gives me an attack.You have to increase your fiber slowly and find out whats right for your system.Back in the fall I ate stir fry on brown rice and boy was that ever too much fiber.I thought I would die.Have you tried a stool softener?Not a laxitive
but just one to make it softer?Smaller more frequent meals sounds good for you instead of large meals that might be to much for your system.I know how it hurts!Dot.
