Add anti inflammatory food items and avoid inflammatory food items along with gluten also avoid cruciferous veggies and night shade food items. Even i had same surgerybwith such symptoms coming back did my own study and now i rarely have those symptoms though if u get it practice deep breathing and walk and drink some water
