also, does anyone elses stomach make obscene noices after u eat.

btw....hi my baf..been mia awhile, hope all is  well...

Post op I never know what  will hear so I just try not to listen, lol.  I get wicked gas too at times. Fiber every day helps.  I use benefiber (generic kind) and I eat konjac yam pasta (aka shirataki noodles). 

I have not had the type folks say have a fishy smell & taste funny or are mixed with soy.  The noodles made in Japan or China are packed in calcium chloride and rinse clean easily.  Even without rinsing they do not taste funny but you can smell the calcium (slightly metalic).  Half a pack a day keeps me full and cleaned out. 

If you eat rice or pasta you can mix the two if it is more pallatable.  Quality konjac has no taste at all so season lightly because there is nothing to absorb the flavors.  I will mix half brown rice/ half tiny konjac or half dreamfields pasta/ half angelhait konjac. 

Check out konjacfoods.com for noodles from China in many shapes like tiny pasta like rice and fettuccini.  Amazon carries the Japanese GoldenGourmet brand in angel hair.  Shipping is high and there is no supersaver shipping option.  Amazon has many brands but I can't vouch for them. 

Sugar alcohols also help.  SF angel food cake (its realy low cal at 60cal per slice) and other sweet treats with made sugar alcohol like pudding get the wind blowing and the movement going for me too. 

Other than that its correctol with a glass of sf gingerale for the urgent times.  I really hate laxatives so if I can eat or drink my way to progress all the better. 

Feel better soon.  I hope I've been helpful.
