Mrs.Cartwill 19 Posted August 14, 2019 So I am down nearly 100 lbs. now, but I am suddenly experience severe cramping and then the explosive need to poop. It starts normally and slowly over like 1-4 hours gets worse and more frequent with more poop than I thought my body could hold! I don't do sugar, and have mostly cut out all carbs that are not from veggies. It definitely seems worse on days the I work out a bit more intensely (running instead of walking, etc.) Has anyone else had this problem? Like I literally just spend an hour at Starbucks afraid to get back on the road. After 3 trips to the bathroom, afraid people were wondering WTH I was kept doing in there, I finally l left. But really?? This sucks. 1 1 FluffyChix and GreenTealael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stitches78 65 Posted August 14, 2019 IBS? I have that and that's about what it sounds like. If you don't take a good probiotic, I recommend them. 2 GreenTealael and FluffyChix reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allwet 868 Posted August 14, 2019 (edited) put in a call to your doctor and or surgeon and see about a blood work up. a fecal sample my solve the issue if it turns out you picked up a bug. dont assume this can only be from WLS. and never fear the poop questions here. this is one group that has walked that walk and can talk the talk.

tbartif1 0 Posted November 12, 2019 It sounds like dumping syndrome to me. Although it could be IBS I had my surgery 28 years ago this December and I stll have the dumping syndrome, especially if I eat one bite too much or drink milk. I have been lactose intolerant since my surgery I can eat some fat free cottage cheese and a sharp cheddar as long as its not too much but no milk. You should consult your doctor.
