Hello,
I read your message carefully and understood your medical issue
Let me recapitalize your case:
- symptoms: gassy, bloated for 3 weeks now
- personal history: no gallbladder;
hysterectomy with only one ovary left
- no
fever, just sweats and
chills already treated with antibiotics
You report not to have a gallbladder. I believer your doctor has advised to be careful with foods/drinks you consume and the way your get them. If you do not follow such advice and start eating these foods, then, problems with your GI tract will start such as gassy or
bloating.
Furthermore, if you eat too fast, or use a straw when drinking, you'll end up swallowing too much air. This will increase the bloating.
Next, you had a hysterectomy. The changes in
hormonal levels after hysterectomy will have bad effects on your GI tract with bloating as the main symptom.
What is more, sweat and chills are signs of a possible infection in your body. Further tests are needed to determine WHERE: lungs? urinary tract?
As you have taken antibiotics, they can alter the intestinal flora causing excessive gas and bloating.
Probiotics and
anti-fungal therapy is suggested. OTC
simethicone can be used to reduce the gas.
Hope this was useful for you.
Dr.Albana
