We are now at 3 wks post op and after the surgery my son had bloating and an indigested feeling throughout the recovery process and it was more painful than back pain so he was willing to go without the pain med. in order to determine which one of the meds. was causing the trouble.
Finally the doctor took him off from Ibuprofen after 12 days (he was on right from the beginning) and he seemed to be doing a little better as far as the indigested feeling was concerned but to this day when he eats anything he runs to the bathroom and he doesn't seem to have any appetite. I tried OTC gas meds like immodium but it doesn't help.
Has anyone had a similar problem? In the hospital the nurse made sure his stomach was awake before he had a liquid diet.
For some reason his pain med always ran out at the same time and as I remember he was taking 3 different pain meds at the same time always on an empty stomach. Could this have caused the stomach trouble he is having now?
He also seems to have developed lactose intolerance after the surgery.
I am curious if anyone had this kind of trouble and about how to cure it.
