Cramping and diarrhea!

I'm 7 weeks post op and last night I started having horrible cramping and diarrhea. It's almost 24 hours later and it's still there. I'm not sure what's going on...it didn't start until like 5 hours after I ate yesterday and now within an hour after eating I'm running to the bathroom ...I'm miserable!! Do you think this is dumping or a bug of some kind? I'll be calling my Dr in the morning if I still feel this way.

    Oh so sorry to hear that. They told me to keep Imodium on hand. If it was dumping syndrome I think you would be having sweating & nausea & light headedness also. Good luck!

I ate out yesterday....had chicken and spinach salad....could it be food poisoning? [emoji16]

I hope you are feeling better and called you Doc. This seems weird but when I don't get enough fluids I either get constipated or diarrhea. So my Doc told me getting enough fluids will help either of those! Are you getting enough Water in? Anyways, hope you feel better now! :)

I saw my Dr yesterday....she put me back on liquids for the weekend and if not better by Monday she may do a scope to see if I have an ulcer or blockage...I'm having a rough time staying hydrated since this all started...this is the 4th day of misery [emoji26] The worst part is the severe cramping ...thank you for asking

I just got over a stomach bug where I had cramping and diarrhea. Lasted about 3 days and I lost 8 lbs!!! Could definately be a virus. Saw my doctor and she recommended fluids. No dairy. And if I could eat small bits of toast or rice. I'm pretty well back to normal but my restriction is super good now. I'm 16 months post op.
