Angierivas1, Have you tried eliminating all milk products from your diet? I have read that hysterectomies can eliminate your ability to process lactose. When you consume a milk product it can take 3 days to have an effect, strange but true. For me, milk products caused immediate acid reflux and then loose stool for about a week. At first I was only sensitive to lactose but after appendix sx it expanded to sensitivity to casein too (milk protein). Hope you have found relief by now and can disregard my experiences!
