What Causes Chronic Diarrhea And Abdominal Bloating Post Treatment For Cancer?

Hello Doctors. My husband had Whipple surgery 8 months ago. He also received chemo for 6 months and 25 radiation treatments to the pancreas area. He is currently cancer free and they were able to get it all out before it spread anywhere. The problem he s been having lately is that everything he eats makes him feel bad and he goes to the bathroom 4-5 times a day, and had bloating and gas, and discomfort. He s actually doing worse than he was on therapy. Any suggestions of what it may be?

For treatment of chronic diarrhea and abdominal bloating you can take some antibiotic preferably oflox-oz or zifi-oz after an expert advice along with omez-d or rekool-d empty stomach one hour before meal. You can take nitazoxanide twice daily for at-least 5 days to get rid of diarrhea completely with cyclopam or meftal-spaz for abdominal bloating. Maintain the hydration of the body by taking plenty of oral fluids or ORS which ever is available.
