bowel issues

[lunarose 97]

Hi All, I am nine months out and still have issues with gas and diarrhea. I may have a couple of days that are good and then get diarrhea and gas. Anyone have this? Any ideas?

Have you had it since surgery? Did you have problems pre-op? Is it only when you eat certain things like milk products? You could try a probiotic and/or yogurt in case your good/bad bacteria in your tummy is out of balance. If it persists you should call your dr, but the sleeve itself shouldn't be contributing to this since theres nothing done to the intestines. Good luck and i hope you get it resolved!!

I was totally regular before the sleeve but have been having issues since. It doesn't seem diet related but I'll try and monitor it more. I see my PCP on the 27th and ask her then. Thanks
