ongoing pain 1+ years post-whipple

The pain is in the abdomen. He says it feels like it is caused by the feces moving through the intestines, so the pain moves as the feces move. And it can get worse for a while and then as stuff moves to another place it can get better.

I am 2+ years out post Whipple and I still get pain across upper abdomen, under my ribs.
Luckily it only lasts a few minutes but is very intense.
I can’t link it to anything, but in past it was after spicy food, so thinking it’s gas build up?

I’m not sure what that pain is. My pain always came and still happens sometimes when I either eat too much at a sitting or consume too much sugary food. My pain is a cramping at the top of my stomach. At times it can take me down for 15-30 mins. It always goes away as my stomach eventually digests the food. My Whipple was in June 2023 and my last chemo treatment was Nov 2023. The pain I experienced was even worse while I was going through my treatments. It would occur almost every morning after breakfast. It only occurs now when I eat more than I should or I eat too much sugary foods. I hope this helps.
