Stomach Ache & Diarrhea



Recommended Posts

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!

      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! 😞
