Antibiotics when inflammation and possible hospitalization. Colon may need surgery worst case. High fiber and lubrication in intestine important, sometimes a low fiber diet is prescribed depending on the particular situation. Probiotics twice a day and a food diary help to avoid foods that make one feel badly.
Increasing fiber may take up to six months, especially if habits are present since childhood.
"other products such as Citrucel (methylcellulose) are perfectly good substitute sources of fiber. One tablespoon a day provides 15 grams of the recommended 25-30 grams daily."
Mineral oil, one tablespoon by mouth daily, from the refrigerator will serve as an excellent lubricant.
