What Causes Abdominal Bloating And Cramping With Fever?

I ve experienced 4 episodes of the following: I start to feel bloated and that feeling increases to the point of cramping and a mild fever during day one. I have no appetite and feel very weak that first day. The fever breaks on day two but my energy level is still quite low. On day three I m basically back to normal. I don t have any food allergies. These episodes have occurred approximately 3 to 4 weeks apart. My blood and urine tests were normal. Any ideas????

Hi,

Bloating, cramping and fever can be indicative of the following when occurring again and again:
Intestinal obstruction of sub-acute variety.
Enlarged lymph nodes.
Intestinal infection.
Tuberculosis of abdomen.
Crohns.
Diverticulitis.
The blood tests may be normal hence I would advise you the following in such a situation:
CT scan of the abdomen when in attack of bloating, cramping and so on.
Tests of stool for three consecutive days.
Relevant blood tests.
An opinion of a General Surgeon or a Gastroenterologist.
All these can help to get a proper diagnosis and thus allow a proper management.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, General Surgeon
