Hi all

I had an ELCS last Thurs. Healing is going well, I feel good etc etc.

Then yesterday the wind hit. Oh my god. The whole house smells, the pain is horrendous, and it's constant. I'm about 15 hours in and it doesn't seem to be abating.

I've also lost 3 lbs since yesterday. My stomach is almost flat again (well, flat for me Grin) so I'm thinking this is normal but the smell is like nothing I ever imagined!

Anyone else experienced the same? I'm drinking peppermint tea, doing some very gentle exercises to encourage it all just to come out, but I'll have to cancel visitors / plans etc if this carries on much longer........ all advice / experiences welcome!!

Are you taking laxatives as they often cause wind (esp lactulose!)?

Nope, managing to avoid them thus far!
