Still really gassy

[Lily189]

I had my emergency c section 27 days ago and I'm still really gassy and only poop every other day is this normal to be like this
The gassyness is doing my head in it's so embarrassing and uncomfortable

I’ve not experienced it but I’ve heard peppermint oil capsules are good for post section gaminess?

I was super gassy after my c sections too. I took masses of peppermint oil, or peppermint cordial (pubs used to sell this - for the rare people who would order brandy and peppermint. Some people recommend peppermint tea, but I didn’t find it anything like strong enough to help.
