Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to the injury. I suggest to do an abdominal ultrasound for further evaluation. If the problem is related to bloating I suggest to use an over-the-counter laxative such as miralax. I also suggest to use simethicone medications to relieve the bloating. I recommend to eat a light diet with vegetables and fruits.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
