hi,
thank you for your query
first of all a gastroschisis once operated has ver good prognosis and if there were any complications because of this you would have had it in your early teens itself.
hence your complaints point towards a general bout of food poisoning.the symptom complex of food poisoning lasts for about a week to ten days
hence,i would suggest you to start-
1.paracetamol for the fever
2.specific antibiotics such as ofloxacin and ornidazole
3.anti spasmodic
but along with this you should also
1.keep yourself hydrated.
2.take ORS
3.dont eat anything from outside till a week or till the symptoms subside
if you are still having abdominal pain.it would be better to get these investigations done
1.ultrasound of abdomen
2.complete blood examination
thank you,
wishing you good health
