Problems months after colon resection surgery: What Helps?

Thank you

Whoa! Skip the shakes until you talk to your doctor. Maybe you can find foods that your body can tolerate. Sorry that you are suffering. I know in the beginning, after the surgery, I couldn't find food that seemed to follow a pattern. Good luck, you are in my thoughts.

Thankyou

My prayers are with you and your husband🙏🙏

My husband rushes to the toilet after every meal. He is not passing dry gas and leaks when he passes gas. He has several stools a day leaving him exhausted. He had his stoma reversal In April 22. He is on folfoliri and bevacizumab for metasis along the surgical scar and has had 6 cycles with six more to follow. How can I help him

Protein drinks hurts my belly so bad and I just stay on toilet 😔

Things will improve, I know it might not seem like that right now. One day you will realize that your down days and cramps are further apart, and your life has been having more days between flair ups. I know for me asparagus was a big mistake and any gassy vegetables had consequences for a few months. Mostly, I ate protein foods and drank protein shakes [which I tolerated better] for about 3 to 4 months.

So,maybe things will get better for me in the months to come.I can’t make plans to do things cause never know when the cramping turns in the painful cramps and never know if the food I eat will just go right thru me or will it wait till I at least get to a bathroom😔May God give strength to you,myself and everyone who is trying to adjust this different lifestyle🙏

I am not even sure what normal is anymore. The new normal went through different stages and was and still is not predictable. It has been 8 months since my surgery and timing is not like it was before. I feel much better than I did four months, ago. Life has returned to my previous activities, and I can tolerate more food groups each week. The first 4 months were the most difficult.

yo no he tenido este tipo de problemas que mencionas, y nunca lo tuve ni antes de la operación y tampoco después. pero el medico me recomendó, si me llegara a pasar que tomara LINAZA en polvo, una cucharada con el café o cualquier bebida.
Puede que esto lo ayude.
