D's Late Night Loo Trips

[Guest guest]

Dear ,

To find out what is causing gas and/or bowel activity is really a

matter of trial and error. Could you be lactose intolerant? Are you

eating fats at dinner time? Maybe you need to take more

acidophillus? I suggest that you make a food journal with notations

of not only what you're eating, but the time and record when you get

gas pains and when you are having your BMs. This might show a

pattern. In the beginning, I could not tolerate milk. Now, it is no

problem. In the beginning, carbs really caused some terrible smelly

gas, now, they aren't such a problem. I had 1/2 a blueberry muffin a

few weeks post-op and I thought that I was going to knock my dogs

out, plus I had terrible bloating. Just remember that whatever

bothers you now, just might be okay several months down the road.
