Shrinking Don 365 Posted March 3, 2013 I would not worry as long as its not super dark like blood you are not eating anything solid make sure u drink enough so you don't become dehydrated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

one day at a time 30 Posted March 3, 2013 Called the dr. Said to eat some plain Greek yogurt to increase Probiotics. If I still have tomorrow to go in due to dehydration issues. He said it is not normal and is not dumping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicole K 352 Posted March 4, 2013 What are you mixing with shakes. If its milk, you have become lactose intolerant. I got diarrhea with the milk in my shakes. Switched to lactaid fat free lactose free milk or supermarket equivalent and voila, no diarrhea. DOS 12/17/12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not a lot of dairy in my diet yet, except yogurt. The diarrhea just happened out if the blue yesterday. Feeling better and no bouts if it, since I tried the plain Greek yogurt. I'm going to have to try this on my kids. Thank you got the advice! I appreciate it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
