MARGOT,
This gas issue is a big problem. We are home almost 3 weeks, still trying to figure out what works and what to eat and not to eat. I have Colace, gas-x, dolcalax,prune juice, and suppositories. I would stay away from anything with seasoning, eat mashed potatoes, applesauce, eggs, little bacon, chicken, but nothing with a base. We have started over again, fruit and toast, cereal, sandwiches, and basics for dinner. Small size portions. Gene took 2 docolax and ended up going for 2 hours on and off. The next day he was wiped. Poor guy.
I believe the bowel has to be healing as well as waking up. Stomach cramps are a daily deal still. Gene is a bit depressed today, have to get him out of the house.
First time he's cried since he came home, he wants to feel better, I had so much compassion for him as he said he feels like he is 90 years old and is so thin. One step forward , two steps back,,,,Ginger
