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.

I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
