Dennis you can try lying on the left side and try to pass gas.
My surgeon recommended this and It’s really works!
I’m only 19 days after the takedown surgery , Yesterday was the first time I was able to do this.
DOES YO UC LOOKS LIKE HEMOROIDS ?
Thank you. I had my surgery almost 21 years ago, What I would have given to have seen your videos then.
yer not alone were all in the same boat there, but isnt gettin rid of some at night better than getting rid of none at all, it was bad at teh start after the operations, but it does get alot better, I used to eat gassex the chewable ones all the time helped me
Yeah, I’ve heard of doing this. I suppose I could try it at night but usually at night I have the least amount of problems with gas. Opportunities to lay down during work, going about the day, etc, are small for me, but thanks!
The only way it works for me is to lay down flat on my belly face down and she just lets ripp if u go back to what u said the gas is on top, well get it on the bottom, this will be done by turning on yer belly, works for me anyhow
I still have the mucus layer that helps me tell the difference between gas and stool. I know from experience, sounds, and feeling when and where the gas is at in my j-pouch, but I still think it is near impossible right now for me because the thinness of the stool is located towards the bottom of the pouch and the gas cannot get through separately.
The reason most individuals cannot pass gas is because the nerves that recognize gas from a stool are located at the point where the cut is made on the infected part of the colon. Some surgeons debate that this area can be saved, but inflammation can return and they have to go back in and burn the nerves off.
I’m so glad you started this my 12 Y/O son is 8 months post takedown and is doing better. He does have some pouchitis issues which we had to use prednisone and flagyl to get it under control. He is also Autistic so its hard to answer questions when we ask him things. So you help alot. Thanks
wow excited that your going to have a normal life, you so much deserve that//thanks.your videos really help people thanks from RICH
