IBS and revision
IBS can be tricky. People have IBS with no WLS. Are you sure the RNY caused one? what are the chance that revising to VSG would fix your IBS?
I had RNY and I am a dumper. If I eat the wrong foods - my IBS symptoms are off the charts. I have IBS now (I am 10 years post op RNY) but I belive I had it before, just not as bad as I have now.
I can control my IBS symptoms by following a very strict diet. And while I add supplements.
It can be difficult but it is what it is.
I am pretty sure I had IBS before RNY. But since I saw a doc for a specific condition (back pain, leg injury, obgyn, etc)- I did not need a PCP="a family doc".
A new study showed that IBS can be blamed on SIBO and/or food allergies.
