Bowel changes 4 months after surgery??
I'm nearly 4 months out and I've had constipation the entire time. Even on the liquid diet..I have been lucky to go once a week and I've basically dealt with constipation my entire life, it is just worse now.
For the past 2 weeks though, I've had horrible loose stools. It is diarrhea, but I'm not going every day (probably every 3 days). When I do, it is really bad..and I go multiple times a day when I do (like 3 times already this morning). There is no holding it, when the feeling hits I have to run to the bathroom immediately. This is miserable. Does anyone know what's going on? I haven't changed what I'm eating or anything like that. :(
It is very common to be constipated first then develop diarrhea. The liquid stool can go around the hard stool. I would not be afraid to go to your doctor with this. They can either feel or xray and see how backed up you are. I use miralax and fiber to TRY to keep everything going. Hope this helps.

Sometimes nexium can cause loose stools. Also if you have a blockage of hard stool only loose watery stool can come out. I would call the doctor.
