Hi, so I am 20 weeks post c-section tomorrow and I’m having stomach issues. Ever since the c-section I just cannot keep food in for longer than 30-60 minutes.

I’m having a planned c section with my baby girl due in January. I’ve heard so many amazing things about cramlington and tempted to change from going to the rvi.
