A member asked:
Is it normal to have diarrhea after hemicolectomy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Adjustment: Diarrhea after hemicolectomy can occur. Remember the main function of the colon is to absorb water. When you remove a segment of the colon then the transit time changes. Keep a record of food that causes diarrhea. An adjustment time will let you find food to help.
