I am mostly IBS with gas bloating and sometimes diahhrea.
Friday I had laproscopic surgery to remove a growth from the outside of my stomach. All turned out well. No malignancy.
Of course I didn't eat all day Friday or Saturday and they pumped me with antibiotics but I have not had a BM since Friday morning. Just tons and tons of trapped gas and pain.
I know the antibiotics did not help and I know they pump air into your abdominal cavity and I know the trauma the whole thing causes.
I have been eating and the right things too (fish,chicken,rice,oatmeal,banana,applesauce, etc)and taking my fiber but scared because I have never been constipated.
Any input?

Maryann,
Try adding some more fruits and veggies to your diet and lots of water. Also, for some people bananas can be constipating. You could make a fruit smoothie and throw in a tablespoon of ground flaxseed. If you can tolerate beans, try a bean burrito (using a flour tortilla, you get your SF). What I do sometimes is heat a four tortilla, put refried beans on, mix 1 teaspoon of acacia powder in the beans, then roll it up.

As well, I would highly recommend taking probiotics to replenish the good bacteria the antibiotics wiped out. Take at least 2 hours after your last antibiotic treatment each day, and then I would continue to take them daily indefinitiely.
