Last year I had Diverticulitus surgery and a repair of a fistula between my bowel and bladder. The reattachment surgery was done this past February and since then I have had extreme gas problems which I have been unable to resolve and which are seriously affecting my social life and I have only been able to have very tiny bowel movements several times a day or more. I have told my surgeon about these symptoms and he has failed to suggest anything I could do to get my system back in order. The only information I have been able to glean from the surgeon was that it was a difficult surgery lasting 5 hours and that they had removed a large section of my colon. Can you advise me if there is any remedy for these problems?
