What to do about gas after diverticulitis surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Sometimes increased fiber intake in the diet recommended after diverticulitis can cause more gas and bloating of the abdomen as a side effect. Over the counter products containing simethicone may be of some benefit with symptoms.
