I had a Total Colectomy 2 years ago. At first I was doing well once I got to my new normal. For the last 7 months I have had extreme pain in my stomach. After a ton of tests one thing that they discovered is that I an not digesting my food. Has anyone experienced this. Help!

If you have chronic diarrhea run, do not walk, to see your doctor. Over the counter meds are not what you need. If you do not get help from the first doctor see another one. I take two different meds for my diarrhea. Good luck

@tressa has your diarrhea issue been resolved yet?

I had a right colectomy 2 years ago and my gallbladder removed 1 year ago-no colostomy. BUT the last 6 months I have had chronic diarrhea and rarely can get by without using Imodium frequently. Any suggestions?
