Why Having Abdominal Pain And Bloating After Removing Colon And Attaching Small Intestine To Rectum?
I have a 28 year old niece that had her whole colon removed as it was dead . They attached her small intestine to her rectum. This was about 3 months ago. Now she still has abdominal pain and when she eats bloats to the point where she looks 4 to 6 months preg. . Is this something that is to be expected with this surgery?

Hi and thanks for the query,
I do think you really not be so bothered, for this is a common feature seen after such surgery. It will for sure take some time for things to get back to normal. It is important to note that he might not have normal digestion as others with colons present. Advice on a diet scheme to avoid such anomalies would be required from a nutritionist. The opinion of his doctor and a nutritionist, in my opinion, are very important. Kind regards
