Try to drink water, as dehydration happens quickly when you have diarrhea.
Good luck, lets hope its just a bit of the flu...

It might be a flu bug, that happened to me. But your a prime time candidate
for a minor infection of your new pouch, this ccured to my wife jen at
about a month out. This is easily sloved with antibiotics like Flagyl. Do
CALL YOUR DOC FIRST THING. Dehydration is dangerous and you may need your
blood tested for things like low potassium. IF IN DOUBT GO STRAIGHT TO THE
ER! In the nmean time drink some orange juice for potassium, and drink all
the water you can... Let us know what happens.

Alan, For me, I got diarrhea when I had most any artifical sweetener, and
as a new post-op, all the protein drinks I was trying to consume had
artifical sweeteners in them.
Even at 4 1/2 months post-op I am really sensitive to them.
I will still have them in moderation, and there are times "they go
right through me." Worth checking into.
Hope you're feeling better

Were you proximal, medial, distal. I'm a distal and I have diarreha at 1
yr out. From what I understand, that's normal for a distal RNY. It's less
of a problem for proximal & medial.
