Bowel Probs after Hyster

I am 8 weeks today and for the past two weeks or so I have what amounts to IBS. It usually hits me once a week or so and I can't get far from the bathroom. Has anyone else experienced this? I never had this prior to my surgery so I wonder if it has something to do with it. In fact I used to only go two or three times a week and now it's everyday for sure but sometimes my stomach cramps and I have runny stool (sorry if TMI). I plan to ask my doctor about it but I don't go back until the end of Sept.

Be sure and ask the dr. Mine have not been the same since surgery. But I know my diet is not the same. No more soda, caffeine and alcohol. And I am drinking a LOT more water. When I asked my PCP she said that they move everything around to get where they need to go and it takes a while for your bowels to settle down. She was more concerned that I was not constipated which would indicate a blockage. She didn't seem too concerned as long as I was still going. If it is worrying you or gets to be too much, call the dr and discuss. I have chatted with the nurse about several things and she if very nice about it.

Hang in there. It does get better.

You just described my situation but i am only 1 week out. I just had 1st checkup and asked doc about it and he didnt have an answer for me. Before surgery i took 2 colace everymorning to be able to go every 3-4 days. So far have not had to do that obviously. I do feel better but something a little more regular would be nice!

my dr. started me on beni-fiber twice daily b-4 my adhesion surgery it helps alot and you can put it in anything and not taste it. also 1 senna tablet twice daily best of luck!!!

I was off work today anyway (took a day to rest) and I got up feeling nauseous and had the bowel thing for about 2 hours then everything was okay. Nothing hurts or feels strange so it might be my inside parts getting their groove again.
