Can't help with the other stuff but weight loss surgery AND diarrhea I do have experience with....

First off - for the diarrhea - I use a slurry of slippery elm powder....mixing about a tsp of s.e. with a little bit of water, juice or in some yogurt and take that, repeating every 4 hours as needed....I 'cured' a raging case of 'shotgun poops' in myself within 12 hours.

I too had weight loss surgery (bioliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch) in April 2004 and have found that the s.e. works on the diarrhea as well as something called BROMELAIN...the pineapple enzyme. Works as an anti-inflammatory AND an anti-diarrheal (and for me to a degree - the 'smell')...

Personally - I would avoid all soy products or as much as possible. While I do use protein powders occasionally (and a protein bar for those mornings that I am running late), I do not make it a habit of consuming them.

I would also suggest that she get in contact with her weight loss surgeon....she might very well have sprung a leak or an abscess and that definately needs to be checked into.

 Hope this helps.
