Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of constant diarrhea post colorectal resection surgery. It could be due to poor immunity and increased susceptibility of getting infected or condition like giardiasis , gastritis and IBS. The symptoms can also occur due to post surgery complication, so consult surgeon . I would suggest you not to panic at all. You should start treatment with combination of fluoroquinolones and ornidazole. Visit gastroenterologist once and get it examined and start treatment after prescription. You should get intravenous fluid administration as well. You should take oral rehydrating solution as well. You should take Ibuprofen along with proton pump inhibitors as well. Avoid hot, sharp and spicy food. You should take banana on daily basis and light food. Drink plenty of fluids to rehydrate body fluids.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
