You may look into SIBO http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_intestinal_bacterial_over growth.
I had RNy and over last few years I have increasing number of health issues: skin condition, IBS-C, allergies to foods, intolerances, etc... anemia and B12 deficiencies (I need b12 shots once a week) and so on...Even vision - eyes issue...
All of that can be explained by SIBO... ..I hope I can convinced my doc to he;p with treatment .
But s far as I read- treatment alone will not fix the issue permanently - and during treatment and when I improve - I need to follow a very strict diet to avoid recurrence.

Looking to talk to anyone who has been told they have this problem. I have cyclic rashes and fevers that cause severe joint pain and tenderness. I am 12 years post RNY to Ds revision. I am miserable and feel very alone with this. I can't find anyone else "Lucky" enough to have this problem. My Email is [email protected]. Or my facebook is Melanie Loyd Gadsden Al.
I am so happy to finally see a post from you. I had been checking every few months hoping you would post an update. I had hoped that you had been busy recovering but I see that you have been having a tough time. Glad to hear that there is a new plan that will help you to get well again. Best wishes for this next stage in your journey.

I am curious as to why you would say to stop?
Thanks for the insight
I had a gastric bypass 20 years ago and the last several years I have had lots of stomach pain and the last year I have lost additional 60 pounds and can't keep weight on. I have severe oxalosis and the nephroligist wants me to reverse the gastric bypass. What are your thoughts? Do you know of anyone in Utah that has had it reversed with success? My body can not aborsb the nutrients. I can't work, need some information.

I wish you the best. My daughter has lived in agony for 23 months. Nobody can find a problem. She's had so many scopes and CAT scans, etc., she glows in a dark room. She's been told she's constipated, she's a drug addict, she's pregnant, and the old favorite, it's in her head. Nobody can find the problem. A new doctor has said Candy Cane, but we doubt she'll get the operation. During the last two years and dozens of doctors, nobody seems to want to stick with it and, most importantly, solve it. And forget having the pain treated. My daughter is starving. She gets so hungry, she eats, then has hours of "10" pain before it subsides. At one point she weighed 84 pounds. She can't pass a mirror anymore, because she "can't see" herself anymore, and the image is too much (or little) to take. Her weight soared to 97 lbs. when one brave doctor treated the pain. But at three months, she got scared so quit prescribing. My daughter hates taking pain medicine. She'd rather be cured any day of the week. But they can't seem to do that, and now that she can't eat any longer, she's just lingering. She was five years post-op when the problem started. Yours was caught much earlier, so maybe they'll get it under control quickly. My daughter wishes she never ever had the surgery. Her life has turned to H---. Sure she wears a 1 or 3, but she'd rather wear a 28 and not be in pain. You'd be surprised how quickly you lose a positive attitude when you've endured agony for two years. Just in case things don't go as quickly as you'd like, get a good support group. And keep that sunshine outlook!
