Vomiting, diarrhoea and pain.

[PEGGO 107]

Hi everyone, hope you all had a nice Christmas.

I have had stomach pains for a while, which I put down to Constipation, Went to

A&E and was told Id a UTI and was given anti biotics , but then started vomiting- and had 2 massive bouts of diarrhoea. I tried to ring the bariactric team, but couldn’t get to talk to anyone , so rang 111, but by the time they rang me back , it had stopped after the diarrhoea attack. Ihave gone back to the beginning on a liquid diet , and so far am sipping skimmed milk which has been ok . Has anyone else experienced any thing like this ? I’m scared to try anything else, but had anyone got any ideas if sugarfree jelly , thin Soup, or Protein Shakes would be ok at the moment ? I’m not sure if I can take Vitamins with only liquid . I know I need to speak to my team and will do . I am 4 months post op . Thank you for reading this .

Maybe just go back to soft, bland foods until you can talk to your bariatric team. Could you possibly just have a stomach bug?

If you go back to liquids, I don't know why you wouldn't be able to take your Vitamins. I was taking vitamins from Day 1.

a lot of people become lactose intolerant - even if only temporarily - after surgery. Could that be it, maybe? If you're drinking whey Protein Shakes and you're lactose intolerant, that could cause that kind of reaction, too..
