Suggest Remedy For Abdominal Cramps After Food Intake Post Gastrectomy Surgery
I had a total gastrectomy 3 months ago and suffer from abdominal cramps [ sometimes severe] after eating just a small amount of food. Do you have any suggestions about how to handle this. It makes eating very unappealing and I have lost alot of weight due to this.

Hello. I am Dr. Praveen and I will be answering your question today.
I wish I knew under what setting the gastrectomy was advised. In any case, small frequent meals are advised. Avoid warm/hot food. Avoid high fat diet. Let your intake be nutritious with small volume. Liquid / semi solid diets are well tolerated generally.
Wishing you good health. Please feel free to drop in any more queries if need be.
Take care. Warm regards,
Dr Praveen Jeyapathy
