While traveling in Europe for a month, I ate foods very different from my norm. Only 5 months post-op, my diet has been pretty simple and bland. For the last week of my trip I had daily diarrhea.

I’ve been home 24 hours - have been drinking only warm chamomile tea. Still have diarrhea.

Any suggestions to get back on track?

Are you sure you haven’t picked up a bug, it might be an idea to go and see your Dr and get checked

Were you eating eggs in Europe? I noticed in some countries they are shelved instead of refrigerated so i avoided them completely so soon after my surgery. If you weren't used to farm fresh this could be an issue.

Also as @elcee mentioned it could just be a bug. Totally touch base with your Primary/Surgeon for a diagnosis & treatment.

It's true, even in Europe you could have picked up a bug or something, so that might be it. Have you taken Immodium? If it persists, see your doctor.

@greentealael I didn’t eat any from the grocery stores that are pre-made on the shelves. I did eat some in a restaurant.

Thanks for the input. Today has been a bit better at home only drinking tea. I plan to go to the doctor tomorrow!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
