Gas/Constipation abdominal pain

[2bfit 62]

I am over two years post op and lately, I have been experiencing a lot of gas and Constipation. My diet has not changed. I have a history of endometriosis and recently found out that I may have hypothyroidism as well. All of the symptoms could be attributed to any one of these problems. But sometimes I wonder if I have a bowel obstruction? Is anyone else having issues with constipation and excessive gas?

From what I've read on here, a large majority of sleevers suffer from both.

i take meta mucil 2x per day mixed with my crystal light drink to assist. The Fiber really helps.

Have you checked into gluten and/or lactose intolerance?

Swizzly has a point with the gluten and lactose. Hypothyroidism can be a symptom of gluten intolerance. That may be worth looking in to. Good luck!
