I Had A Lap For Endometriosis In Early January. Procedure
Symptoms (1st episode):
Severe nausea (disabling)
Vomiting green bile & dry heaving
Legs twitching/hot/cold chills
Diarrhea (mostly yellow/foam)10-20x a day
I felt disoriented/weak
Ears were ringing so loud
Palpitations
Vision was off
Brain fog
Elevated WBC and neutrophils day 1 (Started to go down day 2)
And the worst symptom of all was that When the violent nausea would hit I would get so tired/out of it that I could not physically keep my eyes open.
Urine was getting darker during 2nd admission I remember the hospitalist looked at it and he thought it was so weird with me having been on fluids for so many days continuously.
Symptoms (2nd episode)
Diarrhea 2-3 days prior to onset, did have a really bad headache 1 day prior to onset
Severe nausea (disabling)
Vomiting green bile & dry heaving
Palpitations high heart rate at onset 130-150s
Legs twitching/hot/cold chills
Diarrhea during episode 5-7 times per day
Elevated WBC and neutrophils day 1
Mild ear ringing
Weak and mildly disoriented-less so than last time.
Some low center pain, moderate that would wake me up, partially relieved by bowel movement
Symptoms (3rd Episode)
Headaches worse than my normal 2-3 days before onset.
Diarrhea during episode about 5-6x/day on average
Palpitations but did not notice it was extremely high at onset like before
Severe nausea
Vomiting green bile/dry heaving
Legs less twitchy but just feel really weird/annoying.
Cold chills (cannot stay warm no matter what, shivering wakes me up)
Ears still ringing/sensitive
Weak but less disoriented feeling than before
Just feel really really bad
Normal WBC on Day 2 (no labs done day 1)
More stomach pain on/off than I had with the initial 2 episodes Mostly RUQ and low abdomen.

No they didn't say
Everytime you had diarrhea, was it large quantity stool or small quantity stool?
Larger in the beginning of the episodes and smaller as the days progressed typically but not always. Worse in morning.
Blood and mucus in it? I thought it looked like it had some blood in it but testing said no. I did get very yellow and foamy.
Weight loss? Yes each time I lost 5-10lbs and once I got better was able to get most of it back.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I consider two possibilities.
1. Neuroendocrine neoplasm
2. Inflammatory bowel disease.
5HIAA, serum Gastrin and Fecal calprotectin tests may be done.
You can discuss with your doctor about these possibilities and tests.
