Empathy. Hey babe … I’ve had my tummy cut open five times … & dealt with laparoscopies too. Cause issues. 

Here are some things that have helped me in the past 🙏

If you can’t or won’t take Gas-X you might try activated charcoal. Heat or ice to “pop” the bubbles. 

Get some pear juice if possible. It will make bowel movements easier. 

Drinking peppermint or ginger tea helps you pass it too. 🙏💜🫂 

 Ok my mother in law is shopping for me tomorrow so I will ask her. I’m not really someone who cares about oversharing so I will admit , I haven’t really pooped yet 🤦‍♀️
