bowel and bloating problems

hi im 4 months this week and have been back to drs again about the bowel problems and bloating after eating and dr are sending me to a gastroenteroligest in feb
But the pain today after eating is rearly getting worse and i feel bloated most of the time today when i saw my dr the one that did the surgery he said it could be the adhesions growing back as iv had a lot of surgerys in the last few years,has any one else had the bloating and pain after surgery this far out.
i feel that bloated that my clothing is uncomftable to wear
I have a dr app tomorrow, im on permarin can the permarin be causing the bloating may be, im at a loss here on what it could be,

bowel and bloating problems

Buffy -

I was just having a conversation with my DH a few minutes ago at breakfast about something like this. I had a cyst form 7 weeks Post Op but that seemed to be resolved over the holidays. However, about the 5th I started having problems again.

The comment I made to him this morning was it was always worse after eating. And actually, it has resulted in my eating smaller amounts at a time than I have in the past. But for me I wondered if this could be a complication of the Endo they found on my bowels and couldn't remove.

This is just so frustrating.

Hi,

I've been taking Ultra Plan complete spectrum plant-based digestive enzymes (from Hi Health) at each meal and they've made a BIG difference in preventing gas. We went on vacation over Christmas and I forgot to bring my enzymes. I couldn't believe how much gas and PAIN I had.

Good luck!

Edited for clarity

I just thought of something else. I also take an acidophilus supplement for my bowel. If you prefer, you can just eat yogurt with active cultures instead. The supplement needs to be stored in the fridge to keep the bacteria alive.

I'm also on premarin .. And after eating I'm bloated.. I don't have the gas though.. Every once in a while right before a bm I'll cramp a little but it's nothing compared to what it was the 1st week out of surgery..
Please let us know what the Dr. says.
Hope you have a restful night.
