What a Difference a Poop Makes!

[Flo-grown 194]

I kinda wish I had this problem but I'm currently dealing with everything I eat passes right through me [emoji853]. Nothing seems to help either. I hate eating at work now. The bathroom are not private and are way over crowded.... time is of the essence.

How long has this been happening to you? Have you talked to your doctors about it or your RD? That is not a usual response to last so long after surgery, hon.

Hi, it just started this week. I thought it was the Protein Shake causing it. Yogurt, Soup and scrambled egg also caused it. Basically everything I eat. I don't eat anything with sugar except what is in my Protein Shakes. I'll reach out to my doctor and RD tomorrow and see what they think. Thank you!!

Ps, you always have the BEST advice!! ❤

Yeah. You need to call the doc. That's not normal and it could be so many things. But all of them MUST be investigated. They will want you to have a stool sample usually and it's very important you do that and also practice extraordinary hand washing skills and hygiene. Also use a separate bathroom for now if you can and clean your's very very well for them before anyone else uses it. ((hugs))

Welcome to BP!

I was an every-dayer... now I'm an every few-dayer and it sucks. Except for when I go up to the mountains. There's something about the pressure up there that makes you have massive poops.

The best kind are the ones where you get up, look down expecting to see a small poop, and there is a giant foot long. It's shocking! 😳

Sorry - I'm a Brit. We love talking about this kind of thing 😬
