I am a post gastric-by-pass patient. I
had my operation february of 2004 and was
feeling fine until now. I think I have
ibs. I had an edoscopy, colonoscopy,
cat-scan, ultrasound done and found
nothing. My main symptom is lost of
"stinky gas". :cry:
it seems like everytime I eat (the little
that I eat), I become bloated and a few
minutes later, the gas comes. The gas
usually last during the night. It has a
very foul oder to it. I am currently
taking a powder laxative to help me
produce a bowl movement everyday, but that
doesn't always hold true. I'm not sure
what to eat with ibs, so i'm turning to
ehealth for some advice. If anyone has
had this, please help me!
Thanks. Lisa

Dairy products and red meats are not
recommended for any one with digestion
troubles. Maybe it is the laxitive that
is giving you the odours. Try to use a
natural laxitive fom a health food store.
It would be to your benifit to go to a
good bookstore and find ibs books. They
have some great ones with diets and a lot
of info. Even if you dont have ibs these
diets are good for anyone with troubles.
They are what got me though a lot of
confusion.
Good luck

If your stomach rumbles and gurgles all
day does this mean I have ibs?

If you have ibs you would have problems
eating certain foods, these foods will
give gas and heavy bloating. Alot of the
time this becomes very painfull because it
takes a while before you can pass it.Other
times you just get gas with everything you
eat or drink. Part of ibs is that you
usually cant have proper bowel movements,
either to much or not enough. Each person
has to find out what they can eat without
reactions.Certain foods are not good for
anyone with trouble,like red meat, dairy
products and whole grain foods. These
tend to take longer to digest and in turn
creates havoc on your system. Pull it up
on line and compare yourself, the info
given is pretty accurate.
