How Can Chronic Diarrhea And Constipation Be Treated?
Hi, I ve been having problems with watery diarrhea, alternating with constipation. I ve had 40% of my colon removed due to diverticulitis bout in 2007. But lately, almost everything I eat that isn t bread bothers me. Do I have a real problem? Food is not digesting much either.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your problem seems to be due to bowel infection/lack of digestion due to loss of intestines.
Detection/exclusion of infection with needful specific treatment and replacement of digestive enzymes would help. Please contact a gastroenterologist.
