My appendix burst in 2004,
My appendix burst in 2004, and I had three inches removed from my colon and I also had my ileocecal valve removed, and I have never been the same. I have been sick with constant diarrhea, the doctors cannot control it nothing works so I'm always weak and been in and out of the hospital for dehydration and after having IV I get a little stronger, but they just end up sending me home because all my blood tests come out negative. I'm always bloated. I could hardly eat, and if I do over eat I get so huge that I can't function because I get so fatigue. I'm always losing weight, last year I was 108 my normal weight is 124. I take digestive pills, probiotics, natural herbs which seem to help a little, but for five years all doctors did was put me on antibiotics and didn't help, in fact, made me feel worse because antibiotics gave me even more diarrhea. Presently, doctors are still trying to figure out what is causing the diarrhea and how can they stop it, but I think they know there's nothing they can do because of my valve missing, so I'm just trying to live day by day and hope for better days than worse days. I don't even know what to do or who to go to anymore. I just try to eat well and exercise, which seem to help with my fatigue. I hope your mother by now has gone to the doctor, because it's not normal not to go for three weeks. I never thought I would find another person who had their iliocecal valve removed. I wonder how damaging and dangerous it is to not have one. Take care of your mother, and God bless you both.

Have you tried low carb diet?  I think freeze-dried blueberries (and/or Blueberry Extract) and natural sauerkraut (no vinegar) would help you. Try low sugar Kefir too if you haven't.
