Hello,
As per my surgical experience, the issue may be from partial narrowing at anastomosis site, adhesions or others.
Primary relief with proton pump inhibitor, bulk forming laxative and anti-spasmodic medicines till the CT scan report is done.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
