Diarhea For Over Three Months

[HondaCivicDude 29]

Ever since i started my preop diet of liquids ive had diarhea non stop. So since may 1st i havent had a solid doodoo, i also noticed sometimes, and this might be gross but the consistency is that of like mucus. I looked up symptoms and i guess it could be irritable bowel syndrome? I thought once i was on solid food id be ok but nope a couple weeks into solids and still diarhea...cant be from surgery i dont think? Since i had these symptoms just before surgery is it a coincidence or whats the cause and how should i fix it? Ty ahead of time

I think that's normal. I had it for a month straight and i was 3 month post op

OMG I wish I had this problem. I can't seem to go #2 to save my life. I constantly have to take stool softeners and now there starting not to work as fast. Ugh!

With me I have to switch up my Protein powders weekly otherwise they cause diarriah so one week I do soy and one week I do rice - lactose free or whey give me immediate cramping and diarriah.

This also sounds a lot like c-diff. I've heard it's a possibility after this surgery if you had any anti-biotics along with the procedure. It usually takes 5-10 days after you finish the course of meds, and then you'll notice. The meds basically wipe out ANY good stuff in your intestinal tract and you will have diarrhea non-stop. It's awful, and exhausting. I've been there. If your doctor doesn't think it's based on the sleeve diet maybe add in some pro-biotics and see if you can get tested. It took me a round of $300 (with insurance!) anti-biotics and five days in the hospital to get it cleared up. However I was nursing a baby at the time and they had to prescribe something specific so I could keep that up. Good LUCK!

to me it sounds like you should try some Probiotics, you could have elevated or low good bacteria in your tummy that is causing it. Have you noticed your toots or diarrhea being really smelly, more than normal? I would suggest yogurt and also acidophilus pills.(vitamin)

Have you tried going lactose free?

[Robyn Owens-Miille 132]

Are you still doing a lot of shakes? Sounds to me like a lactose issue.

[HondaCivicDude 29]

I really dont drink shakes at all anymore and dont drink much milk , ill check into probiotics

I have the same problem since I started my pre op diet and Protein Shakes. Ive been running to the bathroom at least 3 times a day.. My surgery date is august 14th.

Is it normal to have diarriah after starting dairy products in my post op diet? Ive had this for two days now & its worrying me HELP

[taurabird 142]

Probably lactose intolerant now and that may include the whey protien shakes. Talk to your NUT.

I have it too. 5 weeks post-op. I have had this before too. I had about 3 month of IBS flare-ups a couple years ago that never got solved but went away on its own. I'm starting to think maybe it isn't from the surgery this time either and I really do have IBS.

Time to but stock in an air freshener company?
