What Does Diarrhea After Ileocecectomy Indicate?

I had Ileocecectomy (resected 18 inches) 2 weeks ago. Ever since the surgery, I ve been experiencing explosive watery diarrhea multiple times a day, despite the fact that I m being extremely careful about what I eat. Is it okay for me to take ORS daily to avoid dehydration? Also, what is the ORS substitute in the U.S.?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello dear. I am Your physician and I know whats going on inside your body. Dont worry its all normal after this surgery because the main function of bowel(intestines) to absorb water and emulsified fats is lost now. You are more prone to diarrhoea. Paedialite is alternative in USA. OTC available. Take high fiber diet. Take little but frequent meals. Less fat or no fat diet. Dont take high protein diet in bulk at a time. Do regular walk as much as u can. Take plenty of fluids and paedialite. Have a safe time and stay blessed. Happy mother's day to any mother at your home
