    Default Changes in skin, gums, bm's, hair?

    I'm only 7 days in, but have noticed my hair is more coarse, gums bleeding while brushing and skin is more oily? I'm assuming it's the change in diet, or lack thereof? Also I have diarrhea too? Anyone else experience this? Thanks!!

    Hi Sue, the one thing I experienced on you list was diarrhea, It started a few hours after leak test and lasted for a total of 12-15 days and then turned into more normal stool. Sorry I can't be more helpful. Good luck on your journey.

    sounds like your body is purging all the nasty stuff! This is a good thing.

    My hair has been through a variety of changes since surgery and I will be 16 weeks tomorrow. I actually had a problem with constipation.
