bloating following gall bladder surgery

by cellulita, Oct 04, 2009 01:57PM
I'm 4 days post op and am generally pleased.

Expected pain when getting in/out of bed .


Oatmeal, bananas, water, lemon& ginger tea and chicken soup have been my inital diet and provided no diarrhea attacks.


There is one thing that I have not been able to control and that is the increadible bloat following all meals. I literally can see the expansion in my belly. Common sense indicates it to be a function of digestion.

Are there any over the counter medications I can take for this excessive post meal gas and bloat? or anything to prevent it?  I want to try veggies and brown rice tonight but I've got to get this gas under control.
