Unexpected Gas and mild cramping



Recommended Posts

Hey all,

Woke up about an hour and half ago to the most uncomfortable gas and mild cramping feeling. Had eaten a fair sized steak 6 - 8 oz and a sweet potato about 5 hours earlier. Been able to tolerate that same meal previously - I am at 5 months out and have had little difficulty tolerating most anything besides a sip of beer I tried which was awful feeling.

Been awake now and trying to clear the gaseous feeling to no luck. Took some pepto. Burping vociferously. Tried to throw up but only got back a few mouthfuls of pepto. Getting a bit dehydrated so taking in some Water, not sure if thats a bad idea.

Haven't experienced the dumping syndrome i have heard about, but wondering if this may be it. Know that beef can be rough on us sleevers, but thus far it hasnt been for me.

Anyone have a similar experience?

Thanks for listening.

Do you have any SF Popsicles? I have hard a heck of a time with meat lately. SF Popsicles have been a God Send for me. They really help calm my belly.

Thanks wildgrits. About a half hour after posting, the feeling cleared up and I was able to get back to bed. So two hours of a fair amount of discomfort. Seemed like it may have been gas as a few final burps seemed to relieve it. Also sorry if the original post was a bit TMI, but was struggling there for a bit.

Will be sure to try those SF Popsicles if it happens again.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
