tanieya 10 Posted July 21, 2012 So I went into work 3-11 pm. My break was at 6:45 and my co-workers ordered pizza but I obviously got a salad. I feel nauseous just talking about it. It was a spinach salad with tomatoes mushrooms blue cheese. a little after 7:30 when my break was over I had extreme nausea, followed by abdominal pain, It felt Ike somebody was punching my stomach, then all of a sudden diarrhea.I felt like crap and I still do 3 hrs out. I was wondering since I'm almost 3 months out is eating raw spinach a bit much, or maybe I ate too much? But how could this cause the diarrhea. Anyone have any ideas or answers please let me know Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kittyforet 50 Posted July 21, 2012 If this continues more than a few days then it might not be food poisoning Do you still have your gallbladder? Your symptoms sound like mine when I was having gallbladder attacks. Anytime I ate I would experience that. Lots of fun. NOT. Once my gb was removed I felt so much better. Hope you get answers fast and feel better!! Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zinhaa 363 Posted July 21, 2012 maybe but not lap band related only my opinion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sojourner 2,446 Posted July 21, 2012 I have raw spinach nearly every day in in my salad for lunch, with no ill side effects. This is not band related. I does seem more like a viral or bacterial infection. Don't neglect it...and it's most important to stay properly hydrated. I ended up hospitalized for severe dehydration after being ill in a similar situation to what you described. If you're not feeling better tomorrow, let your surgeon know what is going on with you. It would probably help to go back on a liquid diet for a day to allow everything to calm down. I am currently coping with gall bladder issues...though everyone is unique, typically diarrhea is not considered a symptom of gallbladder disease. Waves of nausea, gas, and intense pain are more common symptoms. Hope you are feeling better... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
