Dude, Whats up with the sharts?

[coloredgem23]

I mean seriously, is this temporary or forever.......the need to be sitting on the toilet with wet wipes everytime you need to pass gas? I am not trying to be crude, but omg i hope this is just a surgery aftermath!!!!!

Hehe ... sharts, not heard that term before!

One of the most practical post-op bits of advice I was given was "don't trust your farts". I was fine after about a week post-op.

For most people it straightens out in a week or 2. It is just all the liquids and very little solids you are taking in. Once you are eating real food again you should see the problem get better, and probably get constipated.

I am almost 3 months post op and I still get Sharts. I keep wondering when it will end too. LOL! I contain them now because I found out the hard way what can happen if you don't.

Check ingredients for Sorbitol. It is wicked. It makes stuff sweet and yummy (like banana popsicles)! But damn! Most sugar free gum has Sorbitol, unfortunately. In small, infrequent doses, it's okay for a lot of people. It is my enemy.

ok, at least Im not the only one almost shitting in my pants...thanks guys!!!!

[Karenricha]

Ok question...was everyone told that this can happen? Is it all the liquid that causes it? Whats the cause of it? Here I'm thinking with all the vitamins that you are consuming in the shakes that it would be opposite? hmmm? never heard of this?

Al Roker (had a bypass years ago) said this happened to him at the WHITE HOUSE!!! He had to toss his undies in the bathroom. Ick.

Crop dusting is just a bad idea in general.

[slim_again]

Oh crap, so I plan on going back to work 4 days after my surgery and you guys are telling me I could shit my pants when I think it's just an innocent fart?
I saw the other day on Dr Oz that artificial sweeteners can cause diarrhea/leaky gut, could this be the cause? For those passing lots of sharts, are you eating lots of artificial sweeteners or is it really just the liquid diet? Otherwise, I might just go pick up a box of depends, I couldn't handle a skid mark showing through my pants, never mind a brown mark on my chair.
