10 Years + Post-Op BPD-DS changes...looking for insight on how this 10 Year Hump has...
. It is a small price to pay, but you may want to think about that the next time you are prescribed a round of antibiotics. 
Thanks for your note Beam me Up - unfortunately I cannot take amox - I am allergic to penicillin so that's the only think I take. I will never take cipro or levaquin again - their long term affects are horrific on the body and biaxin does bupkis for me! But thank you for reaching out!
BTW - my brother's BDP DS was done by Mitch Roslin too - in 2004...small world!
Research SIBO, candida and FODMAP diet. SCD diet.
Sometimes antibiotics can kill good bacteria and allow the nasty ones or candida to take hold in our intestine.

Hi Nura - I am not still in touch with Dr. Michel. I know he moved to FL and now I believe he's back in NYC but no longer affiliated with Weill Cornell NY Presbyterian. I do still see however the other doctors who worked with him and assisted him on my surgery - Dr. Pomp I see annually - he's awesome and still at NY Pres. I attended their support group for about a year or so. It was really great - really good people there. Thanks for reaching out.
I am almost 7 years out and have become very gluten intolerant in the last year or two--I cannot even eat brown rice without serious gas and bloating, etc. I can manage potatoes without a problem but that's about it. I take a daily probiotic but find that I had to start eliminating things from my diet little by little to find what was causing the problems. You may find your body is going through similar changes. Still, I'd do the surgery again in a heartbeat!! BTW my weight is great, probably very much due to being gluten-free.
