Question - DIARRHOEA !!!!

[poppyowner]

Hi all

Am 4 weeks post op after Gastric Bypass and have found that whereas others seem to moan about Constipation - I have the opposite - DIARRHOEA !!!

This has started fairly recently - have been aiming to have all my foods under 5g sugars per 100g and under 5g fat per 100g but to up my protein it was suggested I add grated cheese to some meals - did this but end result = DIARRHOEA and more embarressingly severe WET FART!!!!! SO stopped having Cheese unless a cheese spread / triangles that were under 5g rule.
Then it was suggested I try having Peanut Butter on melba toasts as good for protein, checked label and found lowest possible for sugar and fat - had a VERY THIN barely there scrape on melba toasts today and yet again tonight - DIARRHOEA !!!!

Does anyone else seem to suffer Diarrhoea like this since Op? IF SO what do you find prevents / cures this?

I am now considering literally ONLY having items UNDER 5g Fats as well as sugars!!!!!

Ive had it for 6 days now and yet ive stucked to the diet given to me from the hospital but i just see it as im losing more weight, not worried about it too much at the moment. im going to see my own doctor next week so i will mention it then. i hope yours clears up though.

You may be some of the few people who turn lactose intolarant after surgery.
I know phatmomma had the same problem after her op it only lasted a few weeks.
she cut out all dairy and used lacto free milk available in most supermarkets.
If I were you I'd get in touch with your dietitian

Oh dear. This is something I'm rather worried about. I already have a very tricky stomach and often have bouts of diarrhoeah, especially if I eat anything chocolatey from M&S. I think it's just too rich. Obviously I won't be eating that post op but I worry about having an accident whilst out and about.
