How To Reduce Abdominal Cramps Caused After Eating?

Hi, I recently came back from an overseas trip and ever since my return 2 weeks ago, I have been experiencing abdominal cramps after I eat . It's like airbubbles in my ribs and I have a lot of bloating a discomfort. Any advice would be appreciated. Jacki

Hi. This is called a gastro-intestinal reflex. This indicates you contracted an intestinal infection particularly at a junction of small intestine with the large intestine and appendix. You may please go for the blood tests routine and particularly of the typhoid. Another possibility of appendicitis has to be excluded by an ultrasound examination of whole abdomen.
Start antibiotic treatment along with metronidazole under the directives of the Doctor.
Continue for minimum of 5 days, see the results ; if typhoid is positive , insist for 21 days therapy.
If appendicitis- ask if surgery is required now or after a gap with medical management.
