Diarrhea lips tingle: I'm two weeks post-op for small bowel obstruction. 5 days after discharge, I developed watery, foul diarrhea and tingling in lips and mouth. No cramps? ANS: suspect you have a low blood K from the diarrhea. Call Dr. in AM. Add low sodium V-8 12 oz per day to get more K in diet. Suspect post-op diarrhea due to antibiotics. But you did not give us detailed history. Available for 2nd opinion now.
