Stomach pain and bowel problems post c section
I had a C section 8 weeks ago and since then, I’ve experienced intense stomach cramps after I eat anything and sometimes sickness too. I have trouble going to the toilet and all doctors are saying is to take Laxatives and Lansoprazoles everyday however these aren’t helping. I feel so weak as I’m unable to stomach food properly and I’m breast feeding. Has anyone else experienced this?

@Sarah unfortunately I can’t take that whilst breast feeding x
It sounds alot like postpartum ibs, try and ask your doctor for some tablets for ibs (works a dream, im also breast feeding so I couldn't have my regular meds, they've given me peppermint oil gastro resistant capsules)

Have you tried buscopan? Sometimes it takes a relaxant after the bowels are touched during a surgery they can freeze up and cause loads of pain until they start moving again x
