Stomach

Has any one had problems with constipation/lose stools as I am not able to keep anything down?

Otherwise I feel fine. My procedure was 5 days ago.

Stomach

Hi Ralph,

My guess is that you have caught a stomach virus, perhaps you should go check in with your family doctor and stay away from dairy as that will only make it worse.

Another thought: are you on any new medications???? because sometimes what you are experiencing can be a side effect.

Another tip so as not to get dehydrated: sip on watered down Gatoraide or some type of electrolyte drink.

Remember the BRATT diet: bananas, rice, applesauce, toast, and tea:)

Let us know how you make out.

Antibiotic side effects

Most likely a side effect of the antibiotics. They kill off all of the good flora in your gut. Speak to your doctor-you may need a good probiotic to get your gut back in balance. Watch it carefully though-I had a problem with similar symptoms about a month after my first implant. I caught a nasty c. difficile bacterial infection. If it does not subside, go to the doctor.

Thank you

MSPACER hit the nail on the head!!! as it is not uncommon for a person to catch MRSA or C-Diff while in hospital....good question to ask your doctor!!! You can ask to be tested....I would:)

Let us know how you make out on Tuesday.
