what's happened to my digestive system????

Since chemo I have had huge problems with stomach bloating, wind and flatulence.  Wondering if this has happened to anyone else out there?  I was on a fair bit of anti-biotics around that time too due to continual infections, so thought that may have contributed.  I took a course of Inner Health Probiotics which were very expensive and did not seem to help at all.  Any suggestions out there????

  • Chemo drugs seem to cause this and it will pass (!) once chemo is finished.

  • Thanks Chemostyle.  I'll try eating smaller, low fat meals and see if that helps things. 

  • Have you change your diet?  Are you on low-fat meal? 5 Small meals?

    I was having problem with heart burn each round of Chemo.  My doctor put me on Zantac twice a day during that week.  Also I was on TravelCalm-Natural (ginger) 4 days before.  Now after 18months after Chemo, my body changed - and high-fat meal 'cause stomack bloating etc.  So I am on a low-GI diet, 4 to 5 meals a day.
