Surgical oncology: whipple surgery done; diarrhea 7 days post-op. soft food diet 2 days ago. usually resolves itself with solids?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Hi member 1279133 The Whipple procedure is one of the most invasive abdominal surgeries still being done, and recovery of the gut often takes some time. If your surgeon agrees, using probiotics and a diet with enough bulk and mostly vegetable based should help you recover. Increase in pain, or constipation would be signs you should follow up immediately. Congratulations on surviving!!
