stomach cramping/constipation

[Guest guest]

you can try colace, it is a stool softener and it works well without giving

gas pain.

Hi all, I am 10 mos. post WLS and 11 weeks pregnant. I went to the

ER a couple days ago with severe upper abdominal cramping that I

thought at first was really bad gas, until it wouldn't go away after

about 6 hours of constant pain. The doctors did an ultrasound on my

gallbladder and found everything OK there. I am still having some

stomach cramping and feeling constipated. Has anyone else

experienced this and if so, what did you do for relief? Thanks!

I get that way in the morning...until I get to go to the bathroom.

It is a VERY uncomfy feeling.

I notice that since I have increased my carb consumption.. it is WORSE.

A lot of what I eat doesn't really get digested.. and that makes the whole

morning process

a pain in the butt ( no pun intended )

I know I should really lay off the crackers and stuff... but the only protein

that doesn't make me gag is cheese and peanut butter and steak... and steak

gets a bit stuck sometimes.

Hi

I've had pain in my upper right abdomen as well and the doc has

pretty much suggested that it's old scar tissue being stretched.

The weird thing is that if I take a couple of gulps of mylanta the

pain subsides. So it could be gas. And since everything is being

squished by the growing uterus it's not uncommon.

Thanks all for your information! I tried 100mg of Colace which is

both safe post WLS and during pregnancy and that has helped with the

cramping and constipation feelings! Thanks!!
