I Don’t know if anyone else has had the same experience, 10 months after the operation I still seem to have days when I have only eaten plain food, and still have the runs for hours. Also I same to suffer from wind both ends which can be embarrassing.

Hi hutchm
I have added a few publications for you . But I can’t actually answer your questions myself . I am going to pop you post back up to the top to see if anyone else can answer .
The only thing I can say I used to hear my mum’s tummy literally gurgling the first few years but it all settled down. She used to get a bit of urgency if she was out for a meal and eating richer food but again after a few years it improved .
Hope someone else can provide you with some insight ,
Court
