I had total colectomy 20 months ago and my bloodwork has been off on several things. I went back last week and some labs are a bit better except for ferritin but now my doctor says I have metabolic acidosis which he thinks is from the loss of my colon and high output so he’s sending me to a kidney specialist to make sure it’s nothing else then he will prescribe a weekly pill for bicarb deficiency. Anyone else here been told they have metabolic acidosis?
