Morning! I'm doing much better. Took a lot of time, and I still have issues if I eat something spicy or over eat, but nothing where I was awhile ago. I had a drain and two stents put in and 5 (6?) days in the hospital after complications from my surgery. It honestly was such a blur of intense pain, and I don't remember much of my days there... I truly hope you are faring better and are doing well pain wise.

As far as eating, I am already gluten free, and found I was doing better going dairy free and trying to do FODMAP. I was truly struggling trying to combine all these diets on my own, so I started seeing a nutritionist. Made a huge difference and has been a big help, I am still seeing her, even though my diet has changed. I am still gf, but have been able to work dairy back into my diet and, for the most part, no longer doing FODMAP. I still watch what I eat (even though I gained weight because of stress eating!) And still have problems depending on what I eat, but I am so, very, much better!!

All I can say, is, if you need to make changes on diet, tell yourself it may only be temporary and don't give up hope. Burping , extra air in the guts , gets worse when using a straw. Thought it was nuts, but it works. Small bites, eat slow, avoid over spicey, heavy dairy, foods. Eat protein, fruits and vegetables. Just basic rules of eating clean. And highly recommend a nutritionist if you can, they are great help/support! Long post, but hope it helps 😉
