Stomach Ache & Diarrhea



Recommended Posts

While traveling in Europe for a month, I ate foods very different from my norm. Only 5 months post-op, my diet has been pretty simple and bland. For the last week of my trip I had daily diarrhea.

I’ve been home 24 hours - have been drinking only warm chamomile tea. Still have diarrhea.

Any suggestions to get back on track?

Are you sure you haven’t picked up a bug, it might be an idea to go and see your Dr and get checked

Were you eating eggs in Europe? I noticed in some countries they are shelved instead of refrigerated so i avoided them completely so soon after my surgery. If you weren't used to farm fresh this could be an issue.

Also as @elcee mentioned it could just be a bug. Totally touch base with your Primary/Surgeon for a diagnosis & treatment.

It's true, even in Europe you could have picked up a bug or something, so that might be it. Have you taken Immodium? If it persists, see your doctor.

@greentealael I didn’t eat any from the grocery stores that are pre-made on the shelves. I did eat some in a restaurant.

Thanks for the input. Today has been a bit better at home only drinking tea. I plan to go to the doctor tomorrow!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
