Suggest Treatment For Passing Of Smelly Gas Along With Bloating
I had a Sigmoid Colectomy for diverticulosis on April 27. I was in the hosp. for 3 days and off work for 2 weeks. My problem is that I do not have a bowel movement unless I use Fiber One or Miralax. I have been eating a normal diet, I am a vegetarian. The other problem is that I have a lot of gas and bloating and it is very foul smelling. Also when I have a bowel movement it is very smelly. My husband told me the other morning, I have no idea what your eating but whatever it was don t eat it again . He said I had gas all night. I have taken to sleeping elsewhere because I know how bad it is. Can I do anything to help with this problem. Thank you for your advice Sandy

Hello,
Here are a few things to try. First avoid all dairy products. Next use the product Beano when you eat beans or fresh fruits and vegetables. Next and probably most important add a probiotic on an empty stomach twice daily. If you do all of this and the problem persists see your doctor as you may have a bowel infection
