Ibs after a c section

It’ll go away , it’s your body trying to acclimate to your normal hormones , i’m 4 months pp and some days i still feel sick

I’m 8 days postpartum and I don’t have much of an appetite. Today was the first day I actually ate a meal and I’m already feeling an upset stomach.

Yes I can relate! I'm 4 months post C-section and I haven't had normal bowels since. I say normal I have Crohns disease anyway so they aren't normal but MY normal. I've had to either take laxatives very often or when I have an upset tummy, I can't get off the loo and the pain is very intense. I feel it's made my bowels worse. When I feed my LO for instance during the night, I lay back and she's resting on my tummy. I get this almighty feeling of sickness, deep pain that I need to run to the loo! I also get more pains inside now. I've also been sick a few times since and that isn't a normal thing for me. So I can totally relate. I have an IBD team so seeked advice so I'm going to speak to my GP perhaps to have some form of an examination or scan to double check everything. I worry for more damage inside. If you're having cramps, Buscopan is really good over the counter. It helps IBS symptoms. Take them each night as that's when tummy goes into work mode 🙏 but if it continues get checked to be on safe side x

Just throwing it out there I do know someone whose celiac was activated after her c section. First one in her family room so if it keeps up I would seek out your doctor

Over a year pp here, I've had a ton of normal bowel movements now. I used to be able to eat spicy food all the time and would never have an issue. Not being able to eat it as much is my only real issue and it's not an issue. I'm just pretty much 30 now 😂 remember this is a huge surgery and we aren't given enough time to heal. Yes, the skin is healed but underneath takes longer. If you feel you should visit the doctor then please do. It does get better though.

YES

Yes! I'm 8 months post partum & I feel awful! It doesn't seem to matter what I eat or how much I eat😔 I had a decent meal yesterday & my tummy just grumbled from there onwards. Then this morning woke up feeling bloated, sick & have the runs. There's no rhyme or reason to it & its really knocking my confidence as I just constantly feel poorly! Intially I put it down to hormones & my periods but, since I've been back at work this month I am a lot more aware of it than what I was whilst I was on maternity leave. I've got a doctors appointment booked for Thursday & it can't come round quick enough.

how long did it take for your bowel movements to return to normal? I need some hope.
