I’m doing my pre op diet and I been having stomach and lower back pain I don’t know if it’s gas or because I have not really had a bowel movement any suggestions on how to help and is it normal during this stage.

It likely is from being constipated. The change of diet will cause it especially if you’re on a liquid diet. Pick up some constipation meds (there are lots of brands to choose from) from your pharmacy. They’ll help get things moving again.

Same here. I took a probiotic and that helped moved things along but it’s been tough with the stomach and gas pains. ?
