Hey! Thank you for the reply! Yes, so the NEC caused the reasoning for the ileorectal anastomosis. I am looking into getting a nutritionist to understand my body better but have had a hard time finding one that would recognize a case like this, but i will keep looking. Yes in saying less air, I mean foods that produce less gas. Thank you for connecting me with people of the same surgery, there aren't many, but I am glad to see some! Thanks!

Hello @madso25

I see from your posts that you are looking for the best foods to deal with your digestive tract issues. I would recommend that you ask your doctor for a referral to a registered dietician. Most large hospital systems have dieticians on staff, and they are great for helping people find the best foods to eat.

While I don't have the same disorder you do, I've had three surgeries of the upper digestive tract and have met with dieticians several times with very good results. Your PCP or your GI doctor should be able to help you get a referral.
