Could be related to dyspepsia, constipation or acute gastritis.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,
Feeling boated in stomach or discomfort or fullness in stomach could be related to dyspepsia, constipation or acute gastritis but it needs further evaluation by clinical examination and various tests to have confirmed diagnosis.
If your symptoms are not so troublesome then i can suggest you some medications and dietary precautions to get relieved from this bloating.
1) Proton pump inhibitors (pantoprazole 40 or rabeprazole 20)
2) H2 blockers like Rantac150
3) Syrup digene 2 TSF three times a day
4) Avoid hot,oily and spicy foods rather take bland diet for initial few days
5) Avoid eating full stomach one at a time rather take small and frequent meals.
6) Have soft diet only for next 2 to 3 days
7) Take salads (cucumber, cabbage, carrot,beat) in the meal,more take vegetables
8) Quit alcohol if you take
9) Walk slowly after every meal but do not walk fast. Avoid taking rest immediately after meal.
10) Take stool softener or laxatives like syrup cremaffin plus 3TSF at a bed time (already taking dulcolax is also good).
All the medications are available over the counter and if not then you should consult your family physician or some local doctor who will know about the drugs and can prescribe you.
I expect you to get better within 2 to 3 days but if your problem persists then i will advice you to see physician or gastro physician who can order various tests (below mentioned) and can come to a particular diagnosis and start the treatment.
1) routine blood investigations,
2) liver function tests,
3) urine and stool examination for R/M and ova
4) ultrasound of abdomen
5) upper GI scopy if required
Here, your previous colonoscopy and hemocoletomy (removal of part of colon) should not be related to this problem as you said the surgery went well and you felt better after that.
Hope this will help you to get better and if any query then you can ask me.
