Just joined looking for dietary advice post bowel op.

Hi I joined after reading some answers to a food intolerance testing question that I found helpful.

In 2012 I had a bowel resection after which I put on a lot of weight despite being quite careful. I also found things that were supposedly "good" ie lentils, pulses, didn't do me any favors at all! Tried different things and then one type of intolerance test that I was not very satisfied with. Telling me "milk" intolerant didn't say if it was the lactose or the protein for example.

If anyone has similar experience and has found a way to eat well without setting off severe tummy pains (like calabrese etc does ) or other unpleasant effects, and lose the weight gain I'd love to hear from you.

Thanks for reading this.

Hi it's worth looking at FODMAP it covers some groups of food that we can struggle to digest or that may produce too much gas that can upset someone with digestive issues. Not all the foods will affect you but it will be trial and error. Good luck x
