Hi Bernadette,
From experience, this has happened to me after recent keyhole surgery to my stomach, four years post oesophagectomy, it was explained to me that sometimes the bowels can react to any sort of interference in this way but will normally settle down again in time, which it did after a week or so.
Hope this has helped.

thanks Dave, I did take some stuff my GP gave me as I was feeling so weak and fed up, I only needed one sachet (fingers crossed) and it worked. At least can leave the house now. I think these things can upset the system.
