title: Diarrhea after gastrectomy and vagotomy.
abstract: Development of diarrhea in a patient following gastric surgery can be a confusing problem. The clinician is forced to consider and exclude causes that may be independent of the surgery as well as those that are unique to the postgastrectomy state. An orderly approach is mandatory for appropriate workup and management.
