What Do You Suggest For Spasm Around My Navel After Getting My Appendix Removed?
Hi I am 52 year old male, I have had part of my small & large intestine together with my appendix removed about 8 months ago. I have developed a small hernia above the surgical cut . recent colonoscopy & small intestine test have been negative but for the past two weeks have been having spasm around my navel, my stool have gotten softer during this time. Doctor seemst to think the liquid from the barum test may be the cause. The spasms are not painful but uncomfortable and together with stool change is worrying

Hi,
You can ask your doctor to prescribe Hyoscine Bytylbromide (Buscopan) or Papaverin tablets to ease the intestinal spams.
I suggest to eat dairy (yogurt with banana) to improve bowel movement.
Do not worry, if the problems you are having are due to barium test, such problems will be over in few days.
