Gas
I have been having a terrible (and I mean TERRIBLE) time with gas recently. It has gotten bad since I had my gallbladder taken out. I don't eat cabbage, broccoli or any of those foods, I don't eat fatty foods, but sugar and sugar alcohols definitely cause problems. I've done so well with no dumping really or anything, and now it seems like the only time I am "safe" is if I only drink shakes. It isn't a lactose thing, I've experimented with that. I use beano etc...but I don't always know I'll need it and it doesn't always work anyway. Does anyone have any great ideas or solutions? I'm really frustrated, it's gross and I'm driving my family crazy.
Sugar alcohols cause issues with many post ops, whether they have a gallbladder or not. You can't drink shakes for complete nutrition. You'll also likely not feel full on shakes alone, as they drain out of your pouch a lot quicker then solid foods. Devrom (a product that helps many post ops with gas issues) may help you. It's sold online. Dave
