    Yes, Iris, my doctor suggested beginning the "after procedure" diet with probiotic approach, that being yogurt.  It helped immensely, but it does take a few days for the body to adapt and the good bacterial cultures to take over and everything become normal again!  Cheers!

    I think either way is normal. Your body goes through so much with the prep and procedure, it can take days to get back on track
