Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of built up of stool on the right side of colon not much felled byiralax that you are taking.
Also noted your history of bowel reconstruction I'm 2013, but not mentioned about the location.
Eating dairy and nuts can cause such problems,
I would advise you the following.
First of all, saline soap enema to clean the large bowel off the feces.
Colonoscopy.
Barium contrast X- ray series to see if there is obstruction or not.
Ultrasonography of abdomen.
Stop milk and all dairy product and all nuts at the moment.
Stool tests and blood tests.
Further management as per the reports.
I find this answer helpful
