Thank you everyone for your comments. Just to give a clear picture I have not donated plasma for about 3 years now. I have dropped my intake of protein due to a new job so the low protein happened quickly. The doctor who did my blood work is my GYN doctor for a bleeding issue. I am wondering if the hormone therapy is not causing my edema also. But my liver enzymes are high my AST is 78 and ALT is 113 I wen t my regular doctor he gave me fluid pills and checking for hepatitis. He is saying hormones can increase liver enzymes.

Hi everyone I am in need of advice for the past month I have gained 30 pounds of fluid my legs look like they did when I was heavy. I had my surgery in 2009 I have been good with my protein except when I donated plasma. I been having female problems and have been getting hormone shots I was thinking that was the reason for the water retention. My doctor did blood work 3 weeks ago and I asked how was my protein levels the person on the phone said they were fine, well I went back to the doctor for the follow appointment he wanted me to come back to for my female problems. He told me my albumin and protein was very low and my liver enzymes was high. I have backed off a lot of my carbs and increased my protein to two whey proteins a day and two protein bars plus what I eat in between. I work at Sonic's as a grill cook I nibble on about 3 or 4 popcorn chicken and about 4 tots while I am at work. I also grill a piece of chicken to eat. I stand for about 7 hours a day when I am at work. I am not losing any weight and am wondering what I need to do. My legs are very tight and my muscles are starting to hurt. Any advice would be great, the whey protein is 30 grams per scoop and the bars are pure protein brand.

I have no pain but a lot of gas and loose stool. I have never done Flagyl before what is it suppose to do? It makes noise all the time shortly after I eat.

Hello I am 9 years out from BPD-DS. I am wondering if the absorption is the same as when I had the surgery. Also when I eat anything or drink my stomach makes the gas sounds or gurgling sounds. What am I doing wrong or missing I have done pro biotics and watch my simple carbs nit even coffee if I lay on my side will sound like a tiger in my stomach.

Hello its been 9 years since I had my surgery. I do not do any carbonation it is not because of sugar it is the carbonation. The gas it builds up it really hurts. As you go on your journey you will learn a lot of do's and don't.
