Abstract
With the rise in pH of gastric juice that results from vagotomy, there is a high incidence of intraluminal gastric Candida albicans overgrowth in the immediate postoperative period. There appears to be no clear cut correlation between gastric Candida overgrowth and the post-vagotomy diarrhea syndrome. Mycostatin has not had a significant affect upon this diarrhea.Keywords
