acid peptic disease to be considere
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day
Dear Ms XXXX
If you are experiencing the pain in Right Hypochondriac region( i suppose that is what you meant by saying Right colon pain) along with presence of nausea and the pain getting relieved by Maalox( its an antacid) makes the diagnosis of acid peptic disease more likely. Also Ecotrin (Low dose Aspirin) which you are taking may have deleterious effect on
Gastric mucosa and aggravate acid peptic disease( due to direct gastric irritan action along with inhibition of Protective
Prostaglandin synthesis).
The doctor would have referred to intestine coming and getting adhered to pelvic organs after Uterus was removed( its not the intestine actually increase in length), leading on to adhesion. If the adhesions are severe it can lead to angulation of the intestine causing obstructive symptoms( May also have pain in abdomen, distension of abdomen and
vomiting).
I would suggest you to consult your Surgeon for further assessment
1. Erect X-Ray Abdomen: Done at time of pain and vomiting will rule out
Intestinal Obstruction as cause of symptoms
2. Upper Gastro-intestinal
Endoscopy for confirmation of acid peptic disease.( Definitely indicated if the symptoms are not responding to antacids and presence of right hypochondrian region pain).
In the meantime i would suggest the following
1. Taking Combination Of Pantoprozole with
Domperidone will definitely provide you the much needed relief.
2. Avoid Spicy and oily foods
3. Eat small quantity frequent meals
4. Avoid tea/coffee/alcohol/carbonated beverages
5. Consume high fiber diet
6. Consume plenty of oral fluids
Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
Take Care
