Hello ladies, have any of you developed IBS type symptoms after a total hysterectomy ? I seem to get bouts of horrible lower tummy burn and pain with low back pain and constipation. I get shivery and feel nauseus and weak, im very careful with my diet but im thinking fruit seems to trigger these attacks so im laying off it for a while. Doctor says nothing wrong, just that after major surgery there are consequences ! This doesn't happen very often maybe once a month and when it goes away I forget about it - but when it does happen it's just horrible, anybody else have anything similar ? Surgery was over three years ago but I havnt been the same since. Thanks everyone x

    Sometime our body reacts to major surgery as well as pain meds 

    once you give your body time to recover and you still have these symptoms see a gastroenterologist. 

    Wishing you a full recovery soon!

    Gas inducing fruits like melon do this to me. I love it but can't eat it! Within an hour I have the griping pains and grumbling tummy. Cauliflower and beans do the same.

    Hope you find whats causing your trouble x
