Suggest Treatment For Severe Stomach Bloating And Indigestion
It s been 4 months since my colostomy reversal. My abdomen and site of the stoma incision make me look like am totally bloated with this round hard pouch area. Is that unusual? I can almost feel the food working its way through digestion. Very strange feeling. I ve always had a flat belly so this is quite disturbing although I know I should be grateful to be alive. Thanks YYYY@YYYY .

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of severe stomach bloating and indigestion. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like systemic disturbances after surgical procedure, constipation , irritable bowel syndrome , intolerance to dairy products or other food items , eating too fast , overgrowth of bacteria in the small bowel , giardiasis or some medications. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to avoid food like dairy products. You should drink warm water and do light exercises and eat light and non spicy food. You should not lay down immediately after having food. If condition doesn't get well then consult gastroenterologist for proper examination . Doctor may prescribe H2 blockers , proton pump inhibitor along with antibiotics and anti inflammatory .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
