My son, 21 years old, had an appendectomy in early February 2008 and still suffers from constant bowel movements (usually five or six per day)  and bowel movement urges.  He has seen two gastroenterologists, one said it was stress related and was IBS (he never had this problem prior to the appendectomy) and the other did stool sample tests, which proved negative for c diff and parasites.  He is now scheduled for a sigmoidoscopy this week.  This has been terrible and interferes with his life in every way.  If anyone knows why this happens after an appendectomy, or how to deal with it, please advise.
