Recurrent bouts of diarrhea... help



Recommended Posts

Throwing ideas out there... maybe try a low FODMAP diet for a while? It can ease IBS symptoms if that's what it is. And try to see if your doctor can see you sooner?

Hi . I just had a look at FODMAP diet and oh dear there is nothing left to eat now .. I'll try to follow it for few days though to see if symptoms ease but for sure I can not follow this diet forever.. there must be another solution for IBS assuming the symptoms I have are truly IBS!! I wish I could see my doctor sooner but I don't think there is a way unless I go through Emergency and my condition is not considered to be an emergency to them!!

I know you said you didn't your doc appt is a little ways away but I would call them and express your concern and get in to see them.. As you said it's not normal for you and it's really not happy.. Better to get ahead of it whatever it is.. Good luck!

I have done the surgery more than 2 years ago and I still get those cycles of diarrhea , eating yogurt before going to bed helped me for a while and my bowel movements seemed normal . the thing is that I don't get the diarrhea throw the whole day I just get in the first part of day from waking up until midday I seem to loose every thing during that period and then no bowl movements until the second day

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
