I would kill to be constipated, even just for one day. The surgery has given me chronic diarrhea. I go within five minutes of eating or drinking (even just a couple gulps of water). It is pretty miserable.

Have you tried Benefibre or Metamucil to bulk things up for you?
It may actually help with your diarrhea.

Fibre alieviates constipation. I need Immodium but regular use can literally put your colon to sleep. I am just trying to alter my diet to find out what is making me sick.

Metamucil is suggested by GI docs for people with diarrhea as the fibre absorbs the excess liquid in the colon.

Fiber can be used to relieve mild-to-moderate diarrhea. Soluble fiber soaks up water in the digestive tract, which makes stool firmer and slower to pass.
