You need to have a consultation with a registered dietitian. Your history is too complicated, there are too many questions, and a lot of potential risk to even begin to give you advice in this forum. Period.

I agree with Danielle. However, I'd would also advise you to see a gastroenterologist and have a comprehensive meeting with your surgeon. Your problems are so complicated you need a lot of 1:1 help and a comprehensive review of your medical history.
