I am suffering from post-op gas and have no idea what to do about it. Can you help me?
One of the first things recommended is to make sure you aren't eating gassy foods. Your diet shouldn't include gas producing foods like beans and broccoli, but should include plenty of fiber.
Secondly, make sure you are drinking plenty of water.
There are additional aides you can purchase over the counter at the pharmacy that might be of help to you. Products that provide relief from gas (like Mylanta® Gas Relief or Gas-X®) might be helpful with the approval of your physician.
Some doctors suggest staying away from carbonated drinks post-op because of the added "fizzy" which can contribute to the gassy intestines.
Staying away from ice might be helpful as well.
When cold ice hits the warm stomach environment some believe it can cause thunderstorm-like conditions causing added gas to your system.
If constipation is contributing to your gassy situation, try a stool softener (again, check with your physician) or prune juice.
