Guest guest Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 I'll get episodes if I'm way too heavy on the fruit juices but not anything more than 4-12 hours after. A multiple day event may be indicitive of a lack of bacterial or presence of some type of viral agent. only > > > > > > Hello I think that this topic may have been brought up before > but > > I > > > dont remember reading the posts (if that makes sense).

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 As a matter of fact, yes. But my bouts of diarrhea have been more part of my new normal -- with regular, though not sickish, loose stools. I had a colonoscopy on Tuesday -- all appears well visually, though the doctor took some biopsies to look for an inflammatory condition and a couple of my blood tests are out. I talk with him today about results. Peg > > Hello I think that this topic may have been brought up before but I > dont remember reading the posts (if that makes sense).

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 My daughter is 13 w/A. And she has had these same symptoms off and on since her heller myotomy in June of this year. After reading up on this group board and consulting her GI Dr, it appears she has what is referred to as the dumping syndrome. I know this is definatetly one of the symptons but I know there are others. For we pinpointed it down to anything she eats that is relatively high in sugar, she's running to the bathroom. But I've seen others here that stated something as simple as a salad would affect them, so maybe keep an eye on your food intake. Hope this helps.
