Day 2 post op annoying bloated stomach!! Started by: alissa2012

Hi I haven’t had my BA yet but I’ve read that girls with similar problems have tried something called Epsom salt you put some in the bath and its meant to reduce the bloating! You can get it off eBay I think, hope this helps! X

Hi Alissa its the paikillers , everyone says it, took me nearly a week to go to the loo properly. My nurse told me to get some senakot ex strong ones and drink loads of water. I stopped taking the painkillers after a couple of days try that and if you still feel achy try paracetamol instead. xx

Hiya Hun, I came off my codeine at 3 days post op as the nurse said that’s what was causing it, just took paracetamol from day 4. I looked like when I was 6 months pregnant, was so uncomfortable and in more pain with my stomach bloating that boobs. I took lactulose solution and drank a lot of orange juice and cranberry juice and after 3 days of taking it I finally went. Was horrible going from thurs to the tues with a bloated tummy and pains but felt much better and the bloating went straight down afterwards. Hope it eases soon Hun xx
