I am in my sixths, have had about two feet of my colon removed ,have high anxiety which I treat, . Now I am getting loose bowels a lot ,am dizzy a lot which I think might be because of the dehydration, feel nausea . This has been going on for two weeks or so. I cannot go to the doctor as I can t afford to. Also I have guard which I am treating. I am only a little overweight. What should I be doing?

Hi,
Diarrhea is due to the removal of the colon. Surface area for absorption is drastically reduced. Do diet modification. Take small, frequent meals instead of large. Treat your anxiety, that adds to loose motion.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
