What can I do for frequent gas and Bowel movements??

Hi I have read many posts on Bowel Problems and I am realy hoping that I will Lick this problem (so to speak)I am 3 1/2 months post op and I get the most awful abdominal cramps, sometimes followed by gas sometimes by a loose or soft stool , and yes mega smelly.I have had this since surgery and I would go 4-5 times in the morning before work and then be ok however it seems the last couple of weeks I have gone 4-5 times before work and then can go from 0-10 more times a day.It gets really embarrasing at work especially if I am just getting ready to put in an intravenous and then have to stop and run to the BR. I have seen my GP he has tried me on antispasmodics which help some but not for long. He also put me on cleasr fluids for about 4 days but the abdominal symptoms did not get any better. I think I know why now tho after reading these posts, clear fluids include lots of simple sugars this could make the symptoms worse right??? I have tried charcoal capsules too . So please please if anyone has any advice I will be for ever in your debt.... I am nearly bankrupt coz of my T.P. costs LOL anyway happy trails and thanks for the advice. Hugs Desperate Susan
