Hi everyone,
I gave birth to my son (my first child) 8 weeks ago via c-section. Since then, I've had EXTREME gas and bloating, especially at night, that usually has a foul odor but not always. I've been in remission for 2 years, thanks to Humira and 6MP, which I stayed on throughout my entire pregnancy. The gas has gotten so bad, that I think it even passed through my vagina the other night, and now my doctor is testing me for a fistula next week. I'm so freaked out and mad at my body.
I was doing SO well before and during my pregnancy. Since I gave birth, everything is different. My BMs are only every couple days (even with stool softeners) and the gas is unbearable (regardless of what I eat). Does anyone have any experience with this? Do you know why it happens or what I can do to stop it? I also struggle with keeping weight on, so I'm hesitant to cut too much out of my diet without knowing for sure it will help.
Thank you in advance and sorry for the long, rambling post
