Seeking Advice - Dealing with Post-Obstruction Diarrhea

Topic Explanation:
Christine is seeking advice on dealing with post-obstruction diarrhea after experiencing a bowel obstruction. She has been struggling with periods of fulminant diarrhea and has undergone various tests and treatments, including cholestyramine and Flagyl, with no definitive diagnosis or long-term solution.

Advice and Insights:
- Consider trying a plant-based, gluten and dairy-free diet to identify potential food intolerances and sensitivities.
- Focus on inflammation as a potential cause, and consider requesting a scope of the stoma and small bowel with biopsies to understand the underlying issue.
- Keep a food diary to track the effects of different foods on the symptoms and consider making dietary changes based on the observations.
- Be cautious about the potential side effects of medications like prednisone and consider discussing the risks and benefits with a healthcare provider.
- Explore the possibility of small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) and consider discussing this with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and potential treatment options.
