I'm a little over 3 years post-op and this happens to me too. I find that greasy foods will set my stomach off. If I eat a little too much of a greasy food, my stomach will cramp and I have to go to the bathroom NOW!!! I've had 2 bouts already this morning. I would check to see what your eating at lunch that may be setting it off.

Are you by chance reheating leftovers in the microwave at work? There is such a thing as leftover syndrome, If you do either eat it cold or barly warm, the syndrome usualy hits if the food is over heated then your body cant digest properly.

Wish I had that problem. I'm three years out and I have trouble going "potty". Let's trade! lol

Have you considered keeping a diary of your eating habits and see if those bouts of diarriah are "tied" to anything in particular. I have found that if I eat lettuce at a salad bar I get diarriah after. My husband says they spray it with something to keep it "fresh" longer and it doesn't agree with me. I also had this problem when I was eating very little "fiber". I think a food journal might help to see if its tied to that. Irritable Bowel syndrome is another possibility. Hope you find some answers
