    It takes a while for your intestines to “wake up” following RC. Walking as much as you can will help more than anything. I have read that chewing gum can also help but you need to run that one by your medical team first. Hope you get some relief soon. Keep us updated.

    I don’t know the answer to your question but I did move your post here where more people who might help you will see it.
