stomach upset

my husband is 3 and 1/2 years post op. Esophagus and over half of his stomach has been removed. It is helpful reading your experiences. He gets a stomach ache every time he eats. Just recently he has found that he’s not cleaning out enough. He started taking miralax at night to clean out his system and he’s finally found relief. He was taking fiber and that was causing severe stomach pains. This has been quite the journey. It’s comforting to read your stories❤️
