I had a reversal of my ileostomy on Dec. 2, 2013. While most things seem to be heading in a "good" direction, I have one problem that has not relented one bit. I have gas, gas to a degree that I think sometimes I'm contributing to climate change. Every day, sometimes early in the morning, it will begin but usually it waits until later in the day, sometime around 3 or 4 in the afternoon. From that time on, it will be there all evening. I take Welchol and Imodium for a problem that is still with me, good old diarrhea, which is not anything like it was when I first came home from the hospital. I use Beano with meals and GasX during the day and night. I do believe I could take a bottle of GasX with no benefit at all. This problem has caused me to give up most social outings with my wife and friends. If I am going to go take care of anything, I try to schedule it early in the day as I am a little safer from gas that I can't control. When you have to fart, sometimes you just fart. I would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has had a similar problem and what you tried and did that may have lessened it or did it just simply quit as time passed. I can eat or not eat. I pay attention to what I eat, but sometimes I just want something, so even knowing the results will probably be diarrhea and gas, I have it regardless. I had new fresh sweetcorn on the cob last night. Sure paid a quick price for that one, but it was so good. Ok, any thoughts, suggestions, ideas, help of any kind will be appreciated.
Thanks
