What Causes Diarrhea After A Colon Resectioning Surgery?
Question: I had colon resectioning surgery july 17 I am on a full fluid diet I have had constant diahrea since july 20 is this normal
Brief Answer:
no its not normal
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic .
It is not normal to have diarrhoea from almost one week according to me.
The most possible reason for this could be as a side effect of strong antibiotics which you may be taking. If such a patient comes to me I usually advice to continue antibiotics as it is equally important and start preprobiotics tablet and switch to semi solid diet which helps to improve bulk of stools.
So I insist you to consult your surgeon and under his guidance switch to semi solid diet and preprobiotics.
Hope I have answered your query . If any further queries are there I would love to help.
