8 years ago, I had my son natural which gave me a tear from front to anus. I had mesh surgery as well as on the sphincter muscles. EVERYthing I eat bothers me , even when I don t eat, such as drinking a lot of water. Consistently gassy , no control on holding the gas in. Feces will sit in my colon , and I feel it at the edge. Most times I dig out pastey stool which is small / formed. Symptoms are much worse the week leading up to my menstrual cycle. my OBGYN dr hasn t gave me a clear cure or reasoning for this.
