Hello @wornoutandtired5151 and welcome to Mayo Connect. Your concerns are certainly understandable. Most of us who have had digestive tract surgery have had similar problems.

As you read the other posts in this discussion group you will find others who have discovered culprits that make this problem worse. @mardee313 writes in the post above. about her husband and she says, "...he has pinpointed some (but not all) of the culprits for him: dairy, garlic, onion and citrus all give him trouble and he stays away from very fibrous vegetables, legumes, etc." I would encourage you to read the posts in this discussion. Many other members have written about how they have tracked foods that make the gas worse.

I'm wondering if you have kept a food diary to see if there are any trigger foods (or culprits) that seem to make the problem worse. I look forward to hearing from you again.
