Flatulence

[Neensyb 111]

Sorry, warning of embarrassment ahead.

I am day 25 post surgery and all has gone pretty well. The only issue I have is a huge increase of wind, with no smell at all, but in large amounts at a time. I can rival hubby and win hands down!!

Is this normal for anyone else? I don't have belly pain, and I eat very slowly and chew everything to a paste. The food consumed is on a teaspoon and I don't use a straw to drink. I've stayes away from wind causing foods, onions, cabbage, Beans etc and eat a very rounded and healthy diet. The weight is coming off as expected, and everything else is good (with the exception of number twos, once a week only).

Does anyone else suffer this embarrassing problem? Mind you, I think I am my step kids hero....even they can't outdo me!!

Well, I farted lots too, but mine definitely had a smell to them (you're lucky yours are odourless!!). I burped lots too.

Eventually, the increased farting stopped, but the burping is still around (not as much as in the first months, but def much more than anyone else I know personally).

It's strange, I can't burp. I feel like I want to sometimes, but I can't and have to sit upright while it bubbles up and releases.

The farts are massive, long, loud and odorless thank god. It's kind of funny, but will get embarrassing soon I can just see it.

I had the opposite thing happen - I hardly fart at all. May be once or twice a day. I have odd days when I’m more farty but I haven’t worked out why. interestingly though, when I had a liver scan I was told my abdomen was full of wind which was blurring the images yet I didn’t feel windy & didn’t have an urge to fart at all.

The only time I had a few days in a row of being very windy was the Christmas before when I ate dessert a couple of times & when I made a white bean Soup. But you’ve adjusted your diet so this is likely not your issue.

I think your cause is be being constipated. If I hadn’t had a bowel for a second or third day I’d take a stool softener (coloxyl is gentle & you don’t get bowel spasms). See if that helps.

I’m (still) gassy too. At home I don’t hide it but whenever I was out, I would take a little more effort to conceal the situation by stepped away or doing it in a bathroom.

I raised the Constipation with my dietician today and she said definitely coloxyl with henna every second day.

I am moving on to more "normal" foods next week too, so more bulk should help
