tummy troubles(tmi)

So I have ibs and have always had stomach issues.  I had a c-section 10 days ago and am having severe stomach issues.  I was of course constipated for 4-5 days so I took some milk of magnesia and stool softner per the dr.  Well I finally went and had 1 day of normal stool.  Well then nothing so I kept taking the stool softner, well last night I had severe diarrhea for about 3 hours.  I was in so much pain I was in tears, I was going to the bathroom every 15 minutes.  So finally I took an immodium and got some sleep.  So today I haven't gone to the bathroom but I've been sick to my stomach all day and really don't want to eat...but i'm breastfeeding and I'm afraid if my stomach issues continue then my supply is going to be awful because I won't be well hydrated and I won't be eating right.  Anyone have any advice or similiar issue?  I would love any thoughts you may have! Tia!

    I did not have that issue, but I would suggest drinking tons of water and maybe some gatorade to keep your supply up. If it doesn't get better call your dr sooner rather than later since you are bf. I hope you feel better soon.

    I to have IBS. It did not bother me throughout the pregnancy however soon after delivery(3-4 days it think) it got really bad. I had to take stool softeners for almost 2 1/2 weeks just to have a BM every couple days. Twice I had diarrhea that was super bad. I dreaded having to go because it hurt so bad. I just made sure to drink a ton of water since I am EBF'ing. I went back onto the food diet that I was on prior to pregnancy and have not had any issues since. Good luck. Hope it gets better for you. Also I have no appetite and get nauseated when I eat. I dont know if it has anything to do with the IBS or just PP issues.
