Kayper, I had fundo in October and am also having trouble with diarrhea all the time. The surgeon that did my sugery thinks I have developed IBS. I take Bentyl for it and sometimes it works and sometimes not. I also get severe pain at times with the diarrhea so bad I could almost pass out. The GI who did all my pre-surgery testing is not sure about the IBS and since I have a strong family history of colon cancer he is doing a colonoscopy on Monday just to be sure. Took 2 weeks to get the insurance co. to approve the procedure but after submitting my Mother's info. on her colon cancer they have finally said okay. This is a new problem that has just developed since the surgery and is just as bad as the GERD. I thought the surgery would be the answer to all my problems!!!
