Dear Meesh1,
I'm glad to hear that you're getting a scope to rule out very serious issues.
You didn't mention what you're eating. Diet is 80% of the game, and even more so for you with your history. I would go to Entero Lab (see My Recommended Tests toward top of this Forum) and do a food sensitivity stool test. You might want to consider an Elimination Detox diet http://www.brendawatson.com/diet/, which eliminates many of the most common allergenic foods and gives your digestive system a rest, of course along with your prescribed dietary restrictions.
Also, Ultimate Flora 50 billion would be the probiotic I would start with. You need both lacto for the small intestine and bifido for the large. Yours is a very complex issue. To learn more about cleansing for the future, you can begin here http://blog.brendawatson.com/f…..sing-faqs/
You are not alone, sadly. Many people have similar issues.
I hope this helps.

Ms. Watson,
I am 4 years out from a gastric by-pass and have begun to have gut problems. (I've not finished losing weight and have begun to gain, help) Even before surgery I had bowel problems but now my stomach is involved. I am often 3-7 days without a BMovement. It is not unusual when my bowels finally move it is a "dumping" common to GBpass people. Stool is often like wet sand and ends totally liquid, lovely subject. Additionally the intestinal gas and belching is a constant. Lately, I am nauseous after taking my medication (antidepressant and a mild ADD medication) taking my nasal spray for sinus swelling sends me into dry heaves, fun, fun. My stomach is now feeling acidic and occassionally burning, nearly everything bothers me. I am not currently taking a pro-biotic. I am scheduled for a stomach scope but I am not sure where to begin with your products. I will be checking with my physician about stool testing. Do I start with a cleanse and jump onto mega pro-biotics? Anyone else out there with these problems?
