How To Treat Bloated Stomach Caused By Bowel Removal Surgery?
Approximately three years ago I had three operations on my bowel wheras the surgeon removed approx. half my bowel without explaining what the cause was. On the last operation I was left with a bloated stomach the size of a soccer ball and given no explanation, I was completely ignored. this is a very embarrassing problem and my trousers don't fit and I get winded when I bend over. I don't know who to see or what type of surgeon
Kind Regards

Hi.
The reason of such an extensive removal is usually a vascular problem of the intestines.
I would advise you to go for a Surgeon trained in Gastoenterologyy; go for a investigation called enteroclysis to know the exact position of your bowels.
With such a surgery you have to take the supplements of mutivitamins , micronutients and may be pancreatic enzyme supplements under the guidance of a dietitian.
