A few years ago I had a tubal ligation, shortly after that I developed mild constipation. Now it is to the chronic stage: severe bloating/swelling and tender/hardened abdomin. It's worse right before my period, but when it flares up it can last for up to 2 weeks before I use a colon cleansing product to give me some relief. Most of the time it feels like there is a knot/bump in my lower right side. I thought one of the triggers was eating beef, but now I don't know. In January I had an OB/GYN go in again and see if there was something there (scar tissue or a nicked bowel from the previous surgery). Needless to say he said everything looked great. But before surgery one of the nurses asked me if I had trouble digesting proteins... I said no at first, but that question stuck with me and I think I have to answer yes now. Does anyone share something similar or know of someone who can help?
