Yes...rectal meds to start.
You can increase your fibre intake...I use Metamucil capsules which does bulk and soften stool. Take with meals, start slowly.
Stool softeners helped me when I went through that phase when healing from my flares a few years after diagnosis.
Fruit juices if your tummy isn't sensitive to them.
If you have antispasmodics...they can help with some of the discomfort.
Once your stools start to move better as your rectum heals, keep up with the fibre. Keep up with the rectals until you're more back to normal bulkier stools.
Takes a while.
