Bowle Control

Hi all,

I have searched this topic and don't see anything that comes close to the nasty issue I am having.

I will be 3 years out from RNY in January, 2012. I am maintaining my weight fine, have no other health issues other than this.

About every couple of weeks I have a problem with bowel control. I usually have no warning, just suddenly I have to go. Usually I make it in time but this is the third time I did not get to the toilet in time. It is incredibly embarrasing. As soon as I stood up to get to the ladies room I had diarrhea.  

Anyone else have this issue?

It is not normal. You need to go talk to the doc. It can be anything, food allergies, food intolerance, bacterial infection, or some colon issue. 
Make an appointment.
Keep a food diary for a few weeks to see if there is a pattern (food tolerance i.e artificial sweeteners aggravate my bladder - when I have splenda - and need to go - I really need to go. )

BTW: My friend has a serious green and red pepper allergy. Even when she just handle it - cutting, prepping with bare hands (no gloves) she will get sick.  (cramps, nausea, etc).

BlueGreyhound, I had that problem for a little while after having my gall bladder removed.  It happened to me in public, too.   I hope you can get to the bottom of this. (No pun intended.)




Off topic:  You have a greyhound?    We had one but recently had to have him put to sleep.  He was an amazing dog and lived to be 13.5 years old.  I love greyhounds.

I have had this issue and have found it happend more often when I drink to much water at a time. It is almost like I am cleaning my colon if I drink to much water or water to fast. It just flies through my system. I even carry a pair of panties in my purse now, just for peace of mind LOL
