girlonfire22119 29 Posted July 21, 2019 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? 1 GreenTealael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elcee 3,341 Posted July 21, 2019 Are you sure you haven’t picked up a bug, it might be an idea to go and see your Dr and get checked 3 FluffyChix, girlonfire22119 and GreenTealael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GreenTealael 25,439 Posted July 21, 2019 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. 2 FluffyChix and girlonfire22119 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GradyCat 3,695 Posted July 21, 2019 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. 2 girlonfire22119 and FluffyChix reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

girlonfire22119 29 Posted July 21, 2019 @greentealael I didn’t eat any from the grocery stores that are pre-made on the shelves. I did eat some in a restaurant. 1 FluffyChix reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
girlonfire22119 29 Posted July 21, 2019 Thanks for the input. Today has been a bit better at home only drinking tea. I plan to go to the doctor tomorrow! 1 FluffyChix reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
