I know this may come across kinda gross, but I have a question. Very often I read about gas issues post op. I am 2 1/2 months out and I have experienced more gas then I used to.

But, today I have been very gassy and I have gone to the bathroom like every hour! It's not diarrhea the stool is normal but I have been going all day! I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this? I am thinking it is all the gas pressure just pushing things out. I have had more gas today then I ever had. I took some gas X, hoping it will help. This happen to anyone else?

I found out what is going on. Once I talked to my kids I found out the have had gas all day. Today was my birthday and my son had made a sugar free birthday cake with a Pillsbury sugar free cake mix and sugar free frosting. Apparently it can give people horrible stomach distress including bad gas. I googled it and it seems to have happened to others. So be forewarned.

Yes true sugar alcohols and certain sweeteners they use in sugar free foods cause GI distress in some people. Gas' date=' bloating, diarrhea and pain.

OMG I had way too many sugar free Popsicles the other day and I was on the toilet for three hours!
