Not common, but . . : Chronic diarrhea after weight loss surgery is rare. Might see your doctor to check for stool culture, white blood cells, and stool fat. Some diarrhea can be from poorly absorbed fatty acids. Suggest trial of pancreatic enzymes through your doc. Also try more fiber, banana flakes, and probiotics.
