What Causes Pain Around Navel, Flatulence, Acidity And Diarrhea After Gallbladder Removal?
Question: I am 43 Year old woman. My Gall Bladder has been operated 4 years back. For last two years I am facing indigestion problem. Recently I am feeling pain around my Navel area even after taking water. It always leads to a Loose Motion. I have also acidity and gas problem. Due to this I fear to go outside. I am a working lady. Please help me with a medicine and also suggest me about my diet plan.
Brief Answer:
Start medicines and avoid hot foods and drinks.
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX.
These problems are most likely due to Gastritis. This is a common coexisting problem with Gall bladder stones. I usually advice my patients either Tab Pantoprazole 40mg or Cap Omeprazole 20 mg twice a day half an hour before meals. This usually resolves such issues as you have been experiencing. Have the medicines for at least two weeks. Also, remember to not lie down immediately after meals. It would be better to walk around for a while before lying down after meals. Avoid hot spicy foods and hot beverages.
Also please avoid smoking and alcohol as they both lead to Esophageal reflux disease.
If the problems do not decrease over the next few weeks then we can think of an Upper GI Endoscopy. But for now you should try medicines and the above measures.
Take care and feel free to ask any more queries that you might have.
