squicky question re: diarhea/loose stools
OK, just a quick question… since my surgery on 4/29/03, the BMs I have had
have all been either diahrea or very soft, formed looser stools… not one
regular stool like I used to have pre-op. I am not complaining, mind you, this
seems to be something that I am handling ok. I also had heard shortly post op
that it was going to be a case of “liquid in-liquid out”, so was not surprised
at the looseness of them.
However, in the past couple of weeks, my stools have now also included what
reminds me of an oily or greasy material… it looks like someone would have
just splattered the toilet bowl with several drops of cooking oil or something,
yanno? I have not drastically increased the amounts of fat to my diet, so not
sure what is causing this.
It reminds me of several years ago when they introduced that new kind of oil,
that was supposed to travel right on through your system. companies fried
their potato chips in it, and it wasn’t supposed to be as bad for you. The only
downside listed though was that you ran the chance of having oily, greasy
diarrhea.
Is this a case of my body not absorbing something right? Have others had
this?
Sorry for the subject matter, folks….*smile*
