Intestinal Gas

Great subject huh? So today is post op day3 for me and I am feeling really good so far! I do have this constant grumbling in my intestines, which can be " relieved" by walking and passing gas, but it is followed up by more soon after. To all you vets, how long should I expect this to last?

A couple weeks it will be bad. I'm still gassier than usual 7 weeks out but it's manageable. My doctor said if the gas goes across your hips from right to left and then travels down your left side, it is probably (temporary) lactose intolerance because that's the large intestine turns into the colon.

Gas is somewhat problematic on and off, and I am nearly 3 months out. I think your immediate issue will "fizzle out" haha! on it's own in a couple weeks. As you heal and your body adjusts to your new eating patterns you'll find triggers and ways to avoid it. I still buy the econo-pack gas relief capsules at Target! Good luck!
