Hi
Dose anybody else getting cramping just below where the stoma was , i was reversed in November 2019 as well as suffering from LARS i get a tighten if i move the wrong way or sit up to quick which is quite painful , it will go after a short time if i relax but will come back at any time
I had my stoma reversed over twenty years ago I would still get pain in my side and depending on what foods I eat I would get cramps I sort of no what to eat and what not to eat as I can’t digest everything but the pain eases and it calms down I taje peppermint water to relieve it
HI Cranagh
my cramping is not related to food as its worst after exercise and can come on even if i put on my socks or touch my toes , did you suffer from LARS ? and did you get a burning in the rectum ?, its been over a year since my reverse and i am still going upto 20 times a day on bad days with lots of wind and burning
I have a fap
