Oh just saw on your other post you’re a week or so out. It really does settle down! I can’t remember exactly when I was back to normal but it was def much shorter than one month. No more stomach noises or anything.

I believe many people on this site advised to use Gas-X to relieve gas.

I am a believer in Probiotics. Normally during surgery you are given antibiotics. These not only kill off the bad bacteria but also your good gut bacteria. So anytime you end a treatment of antibiotics one should immediately follow it with probiotics to restore your good gut bacteria.

Here are a few past links:

Beano is a god send. You just need to take 3-4 pills right before you eat, just one will not work. The Walmart generic is absolutely useless, so don't bother with buying those.
