Hi.....I had Anterior Resection 3 weeks ago. Recovered from surgery well. My wound was slightly inflamed so 1 week later was given antibiotics. Since I got them I had terrible diarrhea. Was then given different ones not so strong. I was told it be combination of the antibiotics and surgery I've had. I understand will take a few weeks for bowels to settle but literally anything I eat/drink come straight back out. I've been given Loperamide, on my 4th day and don't feel it's helping. Has anyone else had this problem?
