Allergic to meds?



Recommended Posts

Hello all, I was sleeved on the 13th of this month. The first week out I was fine. But literally the week anniversary of my sleeve all hell broke loose. I developed a rash on my tummy near my incisions, diarrhea, and fever. I went into the hospital yesterday afternoon to get evaluated. They did blood work, X rays, and a leak test. In the end, everything looked great except my white blood cell count which was high. The doctors believed I had an allergic reaction to my gallstone meds. So I am now off of those, and on a strict liquid diet for the next couple of days. I stopped taking the gallstone meds and my fever has gone away and my rash.is clearing up. However, I am still having diarrhea and not sure where that is from unless it's the crappy med leaving my body. Any suggestions?

You said you were on a strict liquid diet. This may be the cause of the continued diarrhea. Keep an eye on your other symptoms, temperature, if the rash comes back. Once you are back on more solid diet the loose/liquid stools hopefully will go away. If not, touch base with your doctor again.
