Ive never had diarrhea since Ive had surgery 3 1/2 months ago. I'm the total opposite hard to poo .

You just started taking Vitamins? Are they not chewables or liquid? No diarrhea for me. I've been taking liquid vitamins since 12/16 day after surgery. Genny415 I think Iron and or Protein is the hard stool or constipation culprit.

Chewable Vitamins, the multi-complete chewable with Iron.

you are still on a liquid diet so your stools will be watery until you start eating food. then you will have a different problem such fun but totally worth it.

After surgery, I had diarrhea. It was not due to the Vitamins but rather the fact that I became lactose intolerant. This condition lasted for about 2 months and then disappeared. Anytime I drank milk, I had an upset stomach, a trip to the restroom and diarrhea. It was almost immediate.

As a result after surgery I had to discontinue drinking milk, consuming dairy products, and make sure my Protein shakes did not contain lactose.

Since the construct of many vitamins will vary, if you are allergic to one brand of Vitamin, you might try other brands. Experiment.

I barfed the first time after taking a Vitamin (thought I was having a heart attack!). I learned that I needed to take with food and space out my dosing. Experiment. You may need a different brand or form (liquid versus chewable, etc).

I had to wait until I was off of the liquid diet to start the Vitamins.
