A member asked:
I have chronic diarrhea 4 weeks after my appendix was removed, why is this and how do i get rid of it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible infection: After appendectomy, antibiotics are often given antibiotics to fight off infection. Unfortunately, these antibiotics kill off all the bacteria except for one - c. Dif. Ask your doctor to have your stool checked.
