Hi
Thanks for posting your query on HCM
I have read and understood your concern.
Abdominal pain after an abdominal surgery with intestinal resection is common and may last for some time.The pain will subside progressively if no other cause identified.I will advise she tries the following:
-Eat in small quantities and more frequently
-Take enough fluids/fruits
-Eat enough fibers
-Remain active
-An anti-spamodic pain drug like spasfon if pain intense
If symptoms persist, you see your Doctor for evaluation.
Hope this will help.You may write back if more concerns
Best regards
