2Big2Skate 328 Posted February 28, 2014 I've never heard of that. I'd call your surgeon. 1 LindafromFlorida reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LindafromFlorida 1,542 Posted February 28, 2014 Maybe it is a one time event? But if not, I agree, ask the doctor. Good luck, probably nothing but be cautious and ask! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Madam Reverie 2,958 Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) Erm, this is quite common for those of us who suffer IBS. Like a clear jelly type substance? It is often associated with 'leaky gut' - although that's contested as leaky gut is an indicative sign of lots of nasty things like Chron's . Normally it is in response to something that your system doesn't like very much or a change in bowel habits. Which, if you're getting a whole load of Protein in, maybe your bowel needs more lubricating? How are you getting on with the milk in your Protein drinks or the Protein powders themselves? It is totally normal ( cause I've had it for years) - but if your stomach gets incredibly sore, before or when you go to the loo, or the actual passing becomes really painful (outside of the associated Constipation that comes with this surgery) and worse still, there's blood - go get it checked out.

Madam Reverie 2,958 Posted February 28, 2014 You really shouldn't become reliant on laxatives. Your guts become dependent on them for motility... I would suggest you only use it if you really need it. Try and cut it back a bit and see what happens with your movements. However and as said before, you are eating a lot of Protein. Your diet and thus your bowel movements are bound to change. This might well be one of the side effects of that. I've had it for years and it doesn't cause me any major issues. Again, if bothered by it, speak to your quack 1 LindafromFlorida reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NMJG 1,266 Posted February 28, 2014 I get it too. Fiber helps regulate me, so I always try to make sure I get in 10-15 grams a day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LindafromFlorida 1,542 Posted February 28, 2014 I just learned from my nut I was not getting enough veggies. Instead I put my main focus on Protein. Thank God I am now regular. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
