Hi viraq - so you have adhesions too? Then you obviously know the kind of pains I am describing. Trapped gas can be SO painful - it's fine as long as it is moving. I do try to exercise gently and move around after eating, but sometimes it feels as if my bowel is all tight and knotty anyway with the IBS and there's nothing I can do about it, except lie down with a very hot heat pack.
Thanks for the info on fennel, Syl. It makes sense in that I didn't realise it actually prevented gas forming - so perhaps I need to drink it (or chew seeds) between and before meals instead, to stop the gas building up. I had been drinking it after meals. And I do actually like the taste!
