Suggest Remedy For Excessive Gas Post Colostomy Reversal Surgery
Hello, It is quite common after bowel surgery. As of now, you can take laxatives like Lactulose for symptomatic relief. Generally, it will settle by itself in a couple of days. If symptoms persist you can consult a gastroenterologist and get evaluated. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
