I am a 57-yr old female. I had 18" of my colon removed at the same time with gall-bladder surgery almost 2 yrs. ago. I have always experienced bloatings and flatulence and I am still experiencing them again after the surgery. I am concerned about them both, especially the odour when I pass gas. My abdomen feels super-extended and very uncomfortable. I would like to take a colon-cleanser but I am not sure if I am allowed to do so. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
