Kathy...for me...I have found that increasing water to
8 glasses a day helps...and when I cramp up I drink a
full glass...I have tried something new which is
walking (1/2 mile to start with) a half hour after I
eat dinner helps releive a little of the
bloating...and after reviewing my diet...I realized
that I never really got enough fiber in my whole
life...usually was getting 10gms a day....the
nutrional consumption for a healthy bowel is 25-30gms.
a day...so, if you choose the low-fiber diet...you
should use a supplement if you don't reach at least
20gms. a day. The more fiber...the more water to help
with the intestinal cleaning. Some can't do a high
fiber diet...but, you can easily find out if you were
ever getting enough by reading the nutrition labels on
the food you eat. Stretching helps pull the scar
tissue from my surgeory...(I know it can't reach deep
inside...but, I wonder about right at the surgeory
sight where they put your holes.). I no longer drink
coffee, soda...diet has helped me immensely. Everyone
is different...so these are just merely the techniques
that seem to be helping myself. I wish you continued
prevention and a healthy body. Love, Marianne Bolding
