Hi,

i'm recovering from a surgery to remove appendix and part of my colon after some really scared and inflamed tissue related to a history of Crohn's Disease.

I'm trying to get to eating solid foods after being out of surgery 1 1/2 weeks but a couple of times I've had what seems to be severe diarrhea and when that happens its accompanied with my whole body feeling hot and cold. I feel unsettled mentally and if I lay down it feels like a yo-yo back and forth from a hot flash to a cold flash and then back.. Also, i get a feeling of being disconnected mentally and i have anxiety and it almost feels like i'm close to having a panic attack. Its like I just cannot be mentally calm and my mind is racing and jumping all over. When the diarrhea is over i feel drained and I'm really tired. If I get sleep and relax its gone and i'm better and back to normal with not much anxiety. From that point i may be okay for a while but if I happen to have the bad diarrhea again i'll feel the same.

What should I do about the diarrhea and what are everybody's opinions about the anxiety? Has anybody heard of this? Any suggestions on how I can eat to lessen the chance of diarrhea or anything else would be awesome... its seems like my anxiety and diarrhea are related.
