Hiya Mark

I had my op around the same time as you, and while Im not suffering with wind (at least not as much as pre-op) My number two's are not pleasant.

I think its just a side effect unfortunately, probably something to do with the malabsorption. I dont think theres much we can do about it except try not to poo in public LOL

PS. Amazing weight loss BTW.

sure it will pass as do most things soon after op - in the meantime, a clothes peg might help lol! Seriously, are you eating red meat - thats always made my toilette smelly! Try poultry instead as an experiment just to see. You never know!

Wow - Great weight loss Mark and glad you're still keeping in touch, thought you may have deserted once the op was over as I've not seen many posts from you recently!

I know exactly what you're going through and can sympathise wholeheartedly. Some days my whole abdomen swells up with wind and goes hard as a rock, extremely uncomfortable and often happens after I've gone to bed and wakes me up the pressure is that bad.
I can't find any common food that causes this and the following day - oh dear it's not at all nice for anyone around, luckily I live on my own so no-one is suffering at the moment, just dread going back to work in a few days!

I always have a fear of being 'caught short' and always try to find out where the loos are if I'm out and about.

What a diabolical topic but it's good to know we're not alone. :sigh:
