Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of colectomy before 6 months followed by diarrhea, upset stomach after food.
Since the colectomy means removal of all the colon, you start getting a new sets of life due to absence of it. There can be deficiency of many nutrients, B-complex and so on which needs to be investigated and/or corrected.
Secondly, due to absence of colon the food is not going to be concentrated after digestion as there is no colon to do this function hence you have to start learning to the foods and beverages that help you to have proper control.
Avoid all the foods and beverages that cause you loose stools.
Have correction of the electrolytes and trace elements too.
