What Causes Diarrhea And Fatigue?
Have had a roux n y bypass 20 years ago. Just had blood work - all vitamins being absorbed. For the last 2 months - have had lumpy watery diarrhea, weight loss, fatigue and severe hunger. Had congestive heart failure attack in Sept. 2017. Went on no salt diet about 2 months ago. If I eat a small amount of salt, the water increases around my heart and I take a Lasix to get rid of the water. My GP is at a loss, any ideas?
