Hello and thanks for your enquiry,

I can appreciate your question. If you are having very regular bowel movements then it is less likely that your bowel has time to form gas (flatus).

We have a website section about bowel changes after treatment which covers this, and mentions that it can take some time for the bowel to re adjust. Altering your daily diet to find out which foods can suit better can help reduce the frequency of bowel movements. If you have contact with a hospital bowel cancer nurse specialist, then do ask them for any further tips for after surgery.

I hope this helps,

Best wishes,

Vanda
