Hi friends.
Nice to see my fellow J pouch people here. I have had a few bouts with very painful trapped gas. I had my surgeries in December 2003 and may 2004. I get gas and bloating but lately its been more difficult. I had an 8 day stint in the hospital recently from a blockage and it was a very painful experience. I don’t know if COVID had anything to do with this but the staff was very rude and impersonal from day one. It’s been hard at times but a couple things help with the day to day dealings of this condition. The best thing I did was to plan my food around my life and just eat less. I stopped trying to eat raw vegetables and things that might get stuck on the way through and also bought a bidet. It made my life exponentially better and easier to manage. Right now I feel horrible gas and bloat from something I ate but I don’t remember what it could be so if anyone has a remedy to help move whatever it is on and out I would really appreciate it. Hang in there friends. All posts are so helpful 😊
