I have been taking a scoop of good organic fiber every morning for years. I also take a very powerful probiotic every morning. I avoid ALL "sugar free" foods. Sometimes I do have this problem, but I can generally tie it to something I've eaten the day before (usually very high carbs - sugar or something very high fat).

You say you eat "things with fiber" - exactly what are you eating? We don't have a normal digestive system and things that work for non-DSers don't necessarily work for us. Let's say you're eating apples - that would absolutely kill me.

At 14 years post-op I assume you've learned how food reacts in your body. I'm 18 years post-op and if I suddenly started having unexplained severe diarrhea, I'd want to find the cause and not just treat the symptom (Imodium). If you really feel it's food, do a complete food diary (there may be some hidden "itols"). If you think it's not food (medical), find a gastroenterologist. Have you had a colonoscopy lately? Have you been tested for C-diff?

Good luck and I hope you find a doctor who's willing to support you moving forward.

Just thinking with my fingers... consider.. do you have frequent gastritis? diarrhea or constipation? Do you have any idea how long it takes a food to move thru you...Is it possible you are not holding food long enough to absorb.?

Malabsorb problems are often multiple issues. each one is specific to the individual response.If you tolerate "flavors" and liquid supplements- a mineral colloidal may be the answer for absorption. In general change to citrate forms of calcium and magnesium. consider adding K2, it is the bodys mineral mover... the research showed it is impossible for the normal person to get enough in a diet alone..that did not include ppl with surgery on intestinal tract.

My DM had this issue and we had the same surgery.. hers turned out to be intolerance to milk( consider it is added to many foods and mixes via several forms such as lecithin/whey..)., many fats and all artificial sweeteners.

Try taking an imodium in afternoon for 3-5 days. It will also help the gas..sounds like you are having a lot... It is supposed to be non-constipating.

Drink filtered water.. avoid colas of every kind... limit fruits/fruit juices to 2-3 oz day.

During initial beginning,of diet changes.. cut out all milk, change fats to natural ones only ,ie olive oil, scant coconut or real butter, in extremely limited portions- (mostly for flavor.) and sugars.artificial sweetners will cause it, so will milk products,if intolerant..

When you add back in milk- try one of the lactose free ones, or goat milk. and only add that one food back in for 5 days.

consider magnesium- can get this with a 20 min epsom salt foot bath if your intestines are upset.- and zinc if not taking it and if you are taking calcium. and vitamin K2- which has been researched over past 2-3 years and is a mineral mover...note: it is not K1 which helps blood clot.

I tolerate eggs better than anything...i eat 4 -5 a day depending on size.I take a probiotic on an irregular but stable schedule... 2-3 days a week.and generally do these all the time.. I had a hybrid WLS surgery 24 years- it included RNY and several other procedures. It worked. I have issues. I take no prescripton meds. blood pressure low normal heart, rate low normal, last labs revealed anemia.. taking a natural supplement that is well absorbed, and allows me to absorb irons from other foods for that...

Hope this helps... it did Mom and I generally follow these same guides to stay in sinc.

I just started ieating yogurt and it helped a little that's why I said about trying more fiber in the form of powder or capsule to see if that help.

I am 20 years + from my Biliopancreatic diversion with a duodenal switch. The only thing that really improved the condition was by taking probiotics. Get a good quality brand with billions of cultures. Give it a try. It might help.
