Why Having Stomach Cramps And Loose Green Stools After Taking Lactose After Vaginal Hysterectomy?

Hi I had a vaginal hysterectomy and anterior and posterior repairs on monday. I took 2 x 15ml doses of lactulose on wednesday which resulted in diarrhea and stomach cramps so did not take it again until thursday evening (10ml) and have not taken it since. Since then everything I eat results in stomach cramps and goes straight through me and results in very loose green stools. Is this still the result of the lactulose do you think?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, without any indication lactulose may not be taken else it may cause the loose stool and other symptoms, now you have to wait for some time till the stool becomes solid on its own if not the Keoline clay powder can be tried second option is Lyophilized Lactobacillus sachets can be tried, hope this information helps.
