I have the opposite. I really have to watch fatty foods and the amount I eat or

I get some " dumping " . Hope you find some answers!

Try Organic Smooth Move tea.  It works wonders.  It's made by Traditional

Medicinals Herbal Supplement.  You can get it in any drug store or Amazon.com

Hi all.

I had an HM at the end of Janurary this year. Since then I have had severe

constipation and extreme pain in my lower right abdomen. (around the cecum,

below my appendix) The surgeon doesn't think the two are connected but it seems

strange that I've never had this before, and it started a few days after the op.

Has anybody else experienced this kind of problem?

Taniea has severe chronic constipation too. Her pediatrician said sometimes when

they do these kinds of surgeries and procedures it can make you lactose

intolerant either temporarily or permanently.

Taniea has been given Miralax as it is very gentle and safe for everyone. All it

does is draw water into the bowels. She liked it... says alot considering she is

13. But now is on lactulose which has a coconut flavor.

Anyways just wanted you know you are not the only one .

Could be a blockage in the intestines due to the severe constipation. The

constipation could be due to medication you are taking. I know that after my

HM they said to use a stool softener or products like milk of magnesia to

help prevent constipation. Definitely should be checked out though.

Hi all.

I had an HM at the end of Janurary this year. Since then I have had severe

constipation and extreme pain in my lower right abdomen. (around the cecum,

below my appendix) The surgeon doesn't think the two are connected but it

seems strange that I've never had this before, and it started a few days

after the op.

Has anybody else experienced this kind of problem?

Everybody is different but I had the opposite problem. Also, diarrhea and

esophageal spasms seem to go hand-in-hand for me.

Hi

I have not had a HM but several years ago was always constipated, tried Milk of

Magnesia 1/2 strength, worked great in a few hours. Then I found it had

magnesium in it so for last several years have two 250 mg daily. Now have

regular BM daily but must get some fiber, select cerials and English muffin with

a lot of fiber and BUTTER that opens the LES and relaxes it.

Later found out that Magnesium is needed for the heart. Many people on this site

use magnesium. I manage my Achalasia so wdll never have a HM or dilation.I was

desperte at times but once I found out how to manage it, now generally well.

Every night I clean out the e with a lot of water, regurge if necessary.

As my diet has changed to more carbs then I really need and fat as well, I have

had trouble with constipation as well. I had to drink Miralax every day to stay

regulated.
