After colon operation, during the last cycle of Chemo suffered from induced diarrhea. Since then sometimes, I have been experiencing indigestion problem. Sporlac was with prescribed with PEN-D by my Dr. after I faced acute wommiting & diarrhea. Acute chest & back pain was felt but BP & ECG were normal. What would you suggest as a long time solution?

Hi and welcome to Healthcare magic.Thank you for the query.
This is not uncommon problem after colon surgery and chemotherapy since there is damage of colon mucosa and abnormal enzyme secretion. it should be treated mainly by changing dietary habits. You should drink plenty of fluids and easier food,fruit,vegetables,milk products. You should eat more frquent but smaller meals. Pain may be caused by sudden rush of oancreatic enzymes after eating.
Wish you good health. Regards
