@mfinley Hi, I’m just over 2 years out after colon resection due to perforated colon caused by colon cancer tumor blockage. It does seem to change everything, doesn’t it? I find that eating fresh fruit regularly, especially non-acidic types like cantaloupe and strawberries, really helps to calm my digestion. I also take a probiotic capsule every evening after dinner. There’s a good one that has 13 different strains with prebiotics that helped to rebuild my digestion after bouts of extreme nausea before and after surgery. I still have gassy times if I eat sweet carbohydrate snacks as the occasional treat but it’s mostly much better.
