# Medical interjection...
/start boring factoids:
Unlikely to be IBS; more likely to be adhesions causing partial obstruction secondary to the surgery. Since part of the roux-en-y involves moving a bit of the small bowel over the transverse colon, you can also get a sort of internal hernia that can cause similar symptoms.
I wouldn't recommend the booze as a solution unless you have a load of Lansoprazole or similar, but you do need to speak to your surgeon...

/end of boring factoids

# i had bad ibs before the surgery
and i had a massive hernia, which almost killed me last year. lansoprazole doesn't seen to help, but kolanticon gel is what i've been using for the last 4 years. it's been an absolute godsend.

# tried movicol?
could also try going the other way and having a lot of fats eg butter laden on stuff to try and get a bit of steattorhea... stinks but might get things moving since you shouldn't absorb so much of it?
