For the past 3 days i have had a lot of gas that, surpise surprise, is accompanied by cramps and the need to release....except that liquid comes out....most of the time a little and sometimes a lot...very suddenly with no time to make it to restroom. Embarrassing to say the least...but definitely giving me concern as it continues....anyone else have this problem and what do you do to relieve/heal it? Not the normal "dumping, btw. I have had that many times. Btw, I am 17 months out.

Carolynn,

Watch what you are eating!!! Food high in carbs and sugar tend to give you gas. I noticed that when I eat a lot of sugar (including sugar alcohols) I fart a lot.....and its stinky. If I eat like I'm supposed to, I don't have stomach problems. Its all in my profile......read it if you like.

Love, Nadine

To start with I would take some Immodium and a Gas-X strip. Then check what you are EATING AND DRINKING.make sure you not consuming and alcohol (not saying you are drinking but just in case). If it continues see you Dr.

Good Luck

Hi, Joy

No alcohol, but sugar alcohol (Sugar free candy)....which I will stop now. Thought about Immodium but wondered if it is safe to use. Looks like you are just 5 days away from your surgery...good luck to you! Dr Coates is a nice doctor and he has done the surgery on several friends. I would have had him do mine but Memorial didn't have the "Center of Excellence" certification then.

Best wishes,
Carole

Sugar free candy is wicked and will give you super gas and poop poo's and make you feel like you are feeling. Like others have said...lay off of them and watch the carb and sugar alcohol intake and I bet your symptoms will subsided. If they do not, I would contact your doctor. Immodium is okay to take as long as you take it as directed because otherwise you will go the opposite way. It is better if you can control your tummy issues with what you consume!
