Husband Experiencing Constipation after Surgeries

Posted By Rachael (Perth, Australia ) on 10/27/2016

Hi My husband has had two operations for adhesions. Second one they said was scarring. Now after every meal he runs to toilet but might not go or just poops like hard peas. I gave him one teaspoon cod liver oil which only caused blood when he wiped, still no poo.He is always very bloated.

Dear Rachael,

I am guessing the cod liver didn't cause the bleeding but the constipation did.

If surgery was very recently, the anesthesia and medications taken after surgery can really slow down the system and cause constipation.

The easiest thing to do would be to use Epsom Salt from the pharmacy. There are directions on the package for relieving constipation.

You might look in to serrapeptase to naturally dissolve the adhesions.

I hope he feels much better soon!
