Hi there! So I'm almost a year out from surgery and on a regular basis I feel painful cramps in my lower stomach followed by loose bowel movements/ diarrhoea. Once I've passed a watery stool, the cramping goes away and I'm ok - mind you this can sometimes take a few hours - I can't seem to find a trigger as to why this is happening, I thought maybe I have developed a lactose intolerance but I can eat a block of cheese with no problems. I don't have any other dumping syndrome symptoms that people mention, its literally just cramping then diarrhoea. And I hear people saying it's rare with sleeve patients, but I'm experiencing this almost weekly. I've had to rush out of shopping centres leaving the trolley as it just randomly happens. It's getting hard to go out because now I'm so paranoid that it will happen when I'm out so I just stay home most days to be safe. Has anyone heard of this? I have an appt with my dr but just wanted to know if this is something that can happen with the sleeve at almost a year out.
