What Causes Stomach Pain While Having Food?

I was in the hospital for stomach pain and not being able to pass stool. stomach distention. After having me drink a lemon drink, take a laxative, a suppository and drinking Go-lightly - a colonoscopy prep - 30 hours later I was able to pass stool. It was just before this that they did a ct scan and said there was Ileus. It has been 3 weeks and I still get pain when I eat and have little urge to push to pass stool. Should I be concerned or is it just a matter of time? I also have Multiple Myeloma.

Welcome to HealthCare Magic. Thank you for posting your query.
I can understand your concern.

It would have been great had I examine you on my own.
Yes you should be a bit concerned but not much about the ileus.

I would suggest you to
-     Avoid oily,spicy food
-     Have a diet rich in fibres
-     I would start tablet Pantoprazole . Your doctor can guide on the exact dosage
-     I would also start syrup Lactulose to soften your stool
- Get a blood haemoglobin , total count , ESR done
- Stay away from infection
-     Avoid straining during stool

I would also suggest you to visit a physician . He/she can examine you and correlate clinically.

Hope this helps.
Write back to us.
Have a nice day.
Regards.
Dr. Goswami
