Hi there, try a gastroentemologist.  That is there specialty!  Good luck.

Did you PCP do any bloodwork?  It sounds like some type of virus or bacterial infection rather than anything to do with the surgery.  He should check for things like E. coli or food poisoning or other bugs that cause extreme diarrhea.

I agree with Pam... I had that back in Dec/Jan for about 3 weeks and I had camphelabactor (sp?), it is a food born bacteria infection that I got from something I ate....  They would need to get a stool sample and check that out... I wouldn't just let it be, persistance pays off... Call your doctor again and let them know what the pills are doing to you and that you would like to either be referred to a specialist or for them to do further testing.... Hope you are feeling better soon... Keep us posted....
