Change diet to organic/non-GMO/low gluten diet. Start liquid probiotics, Good Belly brand 1,500 ml daily. Start Alive MVI gummies for men/women daily. Magnesium citrate softgel 400 mg daily and Vitamin D3 10,000 IU softgel daily. Juicing: organic carrot/beet/ginger 1 glass daily.
It is normal to have gas and bloating. In order to be able to see your colon, it is filled with gas and sometimes water. Walk around as much as possible. Give it time. It will usually resolve within a few days.
You pass the gas by turning the patient and rubbing on the abdomen. Ok
Yes, it's expected after air is infused during the procedure. Taking a small laxative like dulcolax can help stimulate removal of air. Passing gas and restarting light foods along with time will relieve the symptoms.
