Hello, in 1998 I was rushed to the hospital. Hours later I had surgery to remove scar tissue that caused 100% small intestional obstruction. A few days later the staples busted open and I was given a blood thinner by mistake. A 2nd surgery ensued and I ended up losing my terminal ileum and 40% of my colon due to Ecoli and staph infections. Nineteen years later I am still suffering with constant diarrhea, dehydration, malabsorption of B-12 and other nutrients. I get B-12 injections and have to be admitted to the hospital for malnutrition. For almost a year now I get severe bloating and cramps. There is no pattern to figure out why. I can sip water slowly and still get the horrible pain from gas and bloating. I drink Pedialyte to stay hydrated but that only helps so much. My Dr. Told me to try Gas-x. It does not help. I eat bland foods and often resort back to a soft diet. I have tried probiotics but wonder if they help since I still have problems. Anybody else have this problem?
