Hi I am 16 days post op and im still having yellow runs. Ewww ...I have no stomach pains or fever. So I don't think I have C diff. I have to give a stool sample tomorrow. But has any one went through this situation? It doesn't matter what color I eat....it will still be yellow. Sorry I have to be a little graphic.

Yeah this is totally normal I'm afraid. My doc recommended I took liquid codeine for a few days to help make things more solid. It's so miserable having the runs, make sure you are keeping. Hydrated though as this can cause your kidneys to fail and you to get kidney stones. XXxxx

Yes I sure will let you know what the out come is. Never in my life have I ever wanted a firm bm...lol. I have no gallbladder but I was told to get some digestive enzymes in the mean time. This should be interesting getting the sample.

lo......i have no gall bladder either and maybe thats why ??????/

Or possible bacterial infection. My lower back has started hurting as well.

Being that little out of your surgery is no big concerns. Remember ur only on liquids. So intake liquidy discharge will be the same! I was there am 7wks out. An I surely questioned everything!

Im eating soft mushy solids. Just small amounts of course.

What I wouldn't give for loose stools! 4 months out & I also had IBS before surgery. That has changed. I'm lucky if I go 2-3 times a week! Just bought some milk of mag. It should change soon....good luck!

Hello All,

Ok gave a stool sample but I should know next week if theres anything wrong. But I will say if your having the same issue "runaways" go get some digestive enzymes over the counter. That really helped tons! Today I actually pushed out a softie. WHEW! So today was the 3rd day on digestive enzymes.

what digestive enzymes are u takin ??i know , this sux ..its like everything i eat just goes thru me .....**** i should really be losingthe weight , but im at a stall now i heard papaya enzyme is good for aid in digestion ......also where did u get yours ?

I went to Fredmyers. But im sure walmart would have it to. It was called Accuflora

probiotic. There was several to choose from. By the second day I could tell it was helping so much. I would take 2 a day before eating. Usually I took them at breakfast time. Doesn't really matter which small meal to take them with. Let me know how it goes.

I knw this is older but I have the same issues?? What was the outcome?
