Bowel tightness and excessive gurgling

 I had an operation for Diverticular disease and a stoma reversal 9 months later.  I am now having bloating, tightness, gurgling, and feeling tired and weak all the time. The Doctors seem to think it could be from constipation. I keep telling them even when I am not constipated I still get the tightness, they seem not to have anything else to say. Can anyone suggest anything?

  • Hello foreeverhoping,that sounds awful for you . I am just giving layman’s advice here. I would definitely go back to your GP ,ask them to get a referral asap, I don’t think you should have this kind of discomfort. You have tried laxatives,I suppose .? A friend of mine has a stoma and waiting for reversal . Many foods he eats make him quite ill and bloaty and the stoma doesn’t work then .I think some of your symptoms could be scar tissue but you need it checked out and maybe get medication changed . Good luck now and keep in touch xx

  • Thank you so much for your advice, I will certainly do that, thank you very much.
