I am 15 yrs post roux-n-Y, 55 yo woman. Was 385, wentdown to 125, now 225. Anyway, my prob is for past 3 months or so have been having yellow poop, diarrhea(sometimes) every morning, 4& x sometimes during the day. Also have severely stinky gas (all day). Anyone having this type of problem? Had 1st visit with gastroenterologist Monday & colonoscopy scheduled 3/11.

In the meantime, try introducing a probiotic to your regimen, either in pill form or in a couple of yogurts everyday.  RNY and DSers have a tendency to get the gut bacteria out of balance easily, but at the same time, it's easily preventable, too, with probiotics.  If left to go, it could lead to a bacterial infection (c-diff is most common) that can be treated with antibiotics - then followed up with probiotics to repopulate the colony.
