Thiamin and Probiotics

Since surgery I have been in the ER once and admitted for 2 nights due to ongoing nausea, vomiting, and the need for fluids.  I have not wanted to eat anything and can barely hold down water...though it's getting better. I went for my post op appt with my nut today and she said the symptoms I am having are consistent with Thiamin deficiency.  Today I am starting on Thiamin to try to relieve the nausea, and vomiting.  She also recommended Probiotics to help regulate my bowels from issues like diarrhea, constipation, gas and bloating.  I am hoping this will work since I either have really bad diarrhea or constipated like now (haven't had a bm since Friday).  Sorry for too much info!

Just wanted to share since I know others may have the same issue...hoping we can help each other heal together!  I will keep you posted on whether the thiamin and probiotics work!

Gosh, I'm glad you are feeling better but sorry for the crappy (no pun intended) time you've had. I hope you get even better.
