diarrea and gas for 3 days......normal?
Monday morning I started with diarrhea with gas. Its explosive diarrhea. My stomach makes rumbling sounds and there I go running to the bathroom. I don't feel sick or anything. But I am starting to get drained out and weak. I'm drinking water but I guess I'm getting dehydrated. Is this normal? Oh taking imoudium doesn't stop it either......
HOw far out are you from your surgery? I am just passed 2 weeks and that first week or so I had the same issues so I would say it is normal if you just recently had surgery. I was very tired and week for the first full week after surgery and each day it became better and better. Keep up your fluids and try to get as much of your protein in as you can. I think that is what helped me the most, along with the fluids. Good Luck!

My doc allowed Ammodium AD early out - you can take it as often as it says or check with your doc. You can dilute Gatorade so you don't get dehydrated. Sips of that have electolytes in it and it will
replace what you've lost. Are you eating anything new? anything with something added you can't tolerate yet? Check labels. When I ate crackers once they had palm oil in them and I got sick too. Check your
milk intake =you may have become lactose intolerant, any fats or oils in your diet? See what you're eating and make changes where necessary, call the doc if it continues. Hope you feel better soon.
