Greasy, fatty foods can cause dumping. Maybe that's what you have going on.

Yep. 100%. Had my revision March of 2021. My surgeon warned me that chronic diarrhea could be a thing - and it pretty much is. Some days are worse than others, and yes - sometimes even "emergency" diarrhea - but after all this time I have that narrowed down to when I have too many carbs / gluten. You can take immodium and when it is particularly bad, I do.

Good luck. Invest in nice toilet paper. :)

"Never trust a fart...." Also, do a search for the Al Roker White House SHART story. You are not alone.

My wife, who has a DS, so is subject to the same issues for the same reasons, has a small battery powered bidet wand thing that she used for some time, and also a bidet seat is worth considering for those times, as that is gentler than even the nicest TP. Beyond that, as above, you have to figure out what dietary things trigger it (and sometimes it may be a total mystery...)
