Hi @jollygreen17 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. You will see that I moved your post to a discussion about continuing diarrhea. I did this so you can connect with members like @suzanne2, @stefspad, @fourof5zs, and @ken82.

Here is an article that you might be interested in as well. "Patients who lost the ileocecal valve and part of the right colon had more diarrhea than those who lost comparable lengths of ileum but had this area preserved. Fecal ion concentrations seemed independent of diet but were related to fecal weight and the amount of colon and ileum removed." ---- The colon influences ileal resection diarrhea: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7353449/

Please let us know when you have your appointment so we can follow up with you to see how it went.

Did they have you on a clear liquid or soft food diet when you were in the hospital?
