i HAD A BOWEL RESECTION TO WHERE THEY REMOVED THE RECTUM ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO. I HAD CANCER. I HAVE DONE VERY WELL UNTIL THE LAST SIX WEEKS. I HAVE BEEN HAVING HORRIBLE BOUTS OF DIARRHEA. I DON T KNOW IF I SHOULD CALL THE ONCOLOGIST OR THE GASTROENTEROLOGIST. PLEASE ADVISE.
This can be normal diarrhoea also. But in your case, bowel ressextion has been done. so, it can be malabsorption syndrome also. you can consult gastro enterologist and meanwhile take Tab ofloxacin+ ornidazole
