Is it okay to have loose stool after fundoplication?
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
What is the reason for passing stool on drinking tea after laparoscopic fundoplication?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have reviewed your query, and here is my suggestion.
It can be because of the side effects of surgery. For one episode, it can be neglected. Or else you have to take soft foods more in the initial days to prevent side effects. Excess tea, coffee, smoking, and alcohol should be restricted for a few days. If the loose motion is more, then further workup is needed in the form of a stool routine micro examination.
I hope I have answered your question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Kind regards.
