Has anyone experience more gas than norm after CS?

If so what did you end up taking?

    Best thing for gas is to walk walk walk. Keep moving.  It keeps your bowels passing everything thru.  You can take Simethicone (gas X) as well.  Also a little thing I give my patients after their CSections if they are having gas pains is you take a cup half full of milk and poor another half way of ginger ale over this.  It makes kinda like a float. then down the hatch. It sounds crazy but they all say it works.

    c/s #2 with DS2 I had the WORST gas...worse than with DS1.  They ended up giving me a chewable gas tablet because I was getting to the point where I couldn't eat and was in pain from the gas.  It helped eventually.  Also walking around helped.

    The gas was by far the worst part of my rcs. I took gasx...it didn't help. Getting up and walking helped a lot. The gas pains started the day after I delivered. I started walking at least 1 lap around maternity every time I nursed DD (so every 2 hrs max) and it had mostly subsided by the time I was discharged (48 hrs after delivery). I had gas a lot longer after my first cs and I think it was because I did not know I was supposed to walk so I didn't.

    Stop drinking soda too.  The carbination makes it worse.  The nurse kept pushing ginger ale & then the OB told me to back off & that helped a lot.
