first upper respiratory infection after bypass

Saturday started my first "sickness" since RNY surgery on 11/7. It started as a sore throat, runny nose and head cold ...then the diarrhea started. Three days of GAS and diarrhea every time I put anything in my stomach!!! My bottom was sooo sore!!

today is day 4 and the diarrhea has eased off, but now it has moved to my chest. Any advise on medicine, treatments, suggestions, ideas or experiences of being sick after bypass. I just got back from family dr and she gave me liquid zpack and cough medicine.

    Maybe you'll change your name to undertheweather444 or the short term. It sounds as though you have little faith in your doctor. I wish I could help, but I know of no treatment for diarrhea of the chest.

    Seriously, I hope the malady passes quickly.
