Constipation and gas

I had my surgery back in 2019. Ever since I’ve had body pain problems. So they put me on t3 which I’ve been on for only four months now. I just experienced constipation the past few days and finally went today. It was painful and I felt like I was going to pass out. But ever since I’ve been nauseous and EXTREMELY gassy and didn’t know if anyone else has experienced this. I tried googling it but nothing came up so I want to assume maybe it’s a rny issue.

  • if it's been that long since your surgery, I suspect it's more likely the T3 - or maybe the combination of the two (having T3 after having bariatric surgery). I'd ask your doctor or pharmacist.

    Definitely sounds more like a t3 issue than specifically a rny issue. Maybe it's the combo, but I think the t3 is more of a factor here. Definitely ask about it.

  • I wouldn’t think it is your bypass either unless, as the others have suggested, it’s the effect of the hormone on your digestive system. Check the side effects of the drug, interactions, etc. &a

Check the side effects of the drug, interactions, etc. & it would be worth a conversation with your prescribing doctor & even your bariatric surgeon.

I just checked the drug information & it does say nausea is a side effect. Try to keep on top of any constipation so it doesn’t become painful when you finally go.

Maybe try using an occasional enema? I started doing that, and it restored my regularity.
