For three days I have had very watery, almost black diarrhoea. I do not feel ill. I am drinking plenty, and my wee is pale so I am not dehydrated due to the pooing. My food is as it should be, fat free, sugar free etc. It is NOT dumping. Sorry to be so graphic - there are no symptoms at all - I just get an urge to go to the loo and when I go, one 'push' and it literally just pours out like water from a tap. The first day it happened almost every couple of hours. Yesterday was only twice and today only once - so far.
Do people think I should be concerned?
Should I go to the docs or just wait to see if it stops over the next day or so.
 
Well thw colour black might be just because you take iron ?! Not sure about the other bit.. If it does not get better over the weekend maybe try and call your team just to be safe :)

I did think the black might be iron as I have to take extra, but I made the mistake of googling and reading some of the info lol.
 
Ring team on Monday just to be sure x

Yes I will. Thanks. I think I'm mainly concerned as we don't eat a lot to start with and it's obviously not staying in there. Plus, I may be losing nutrients from my vitamins as well.
 
What ever you do get some Dyarlight ( can't spell) to replace your salts very important when you have the runs even more do when you've had this type of surgery, very important to get the salts topped back up and font take anything over the counter to put it right. You could try to eat some bananas they help stop the runs but they are full of potassium. !hope you feel better soon :)

Thanks mouse. I will see what flavour they have in diaoralite - I'd forgotten all about that stuff. As long as it's not blackcurrant, I can give that a go. As for bananas, they'd definitely start the opposite end off lol. I can't stand anything banana flavoured or fragrances. The smell literally makes me gip. But thanks again for reminding me about diaroralite (can't spell it lol). X
 
Try cutting dairy out as well try lactofree or soya products.
