Thank you everyone for your comments. Just to give a clear picture I have not donated plasma for about 3 years now. I have dropped my intake of Protein due to a new job so the low protein happened quickly. The doctor who did my blood work is my GYN doctor for a bleeding issue. I am wondering if the hormone therapy is not causing my edema also. But my liver enzymes are high my AST is 78 and ALT is 113 I wen t my regular doctor he gave me Fluid pills and checking for hepatitis. He is saying hormones can increase liver enzymes.

Hello its been 9 years since I had my surgery. I do not do any carbonation it is not because of sugar it is the carbonation. The gas it builds up it really hurts. As you go on your journey you will learn a lot of do's and don't.

I don't know about the absorption, but one of the nurses in my program said you can hear your stomach gurgling as food leaves the pouch because the small intestine was moved up to the front of your body. It used to be buried somewhere in the middle and the sound was more muffled.

Hi,
What my surgeons told me is the body fights its hardest to return to normal, but it can't bc it's been changed, permanently. Generally, the malabsorption does lessen somewhat after a few years and then usually reaches its set point.
Does your stomach give you any pain while it's gurgling? Do you have gas or diarrhea?
When is the the last time you did a course of Flagyl? May be time to sort things out.
