Gas and bloating
I eat very few carbohydrates, but it seems like lately if I eat any carbs at all I get the worse gas and bloating. It is painful. I have to take gas x and tums to try and alleviate the pressure. I actually get a tiny distended belly. Any way to prevent this besides not eating any carbs at all. I am almost 7 months post op.
Keep in mind the whole grains have more fiber, and you need to find a good balance of when and how much roughage you can add to your diet, including fruits and vegetables.
Make sure you are taking your vites, and lots of calcium.
You are only (you're thinking, "Huh? Only?") seven months out. Things are still settling down a bit. I am over two years out, and can pretty much identify what causes me to bloat. I cant tell you when things will settle down, but they will.
Always a learning experience, huh? Haha
If I eat any carbs or sugar,6 hours later I have painful gas and bloating. even whole wheat products are a problem,plus sugar alcohols and artificial sweeteners.
The only thing I know to avoid it ,is to not eat those things. Not there yet myself ,avoidance,but going to have to get there,I believe.

Do you chew gum? That took me ages to figure out as being a problem for me as I didn't think of it when I was going over what I ate, but xylitol did horrible things to me.
