Problems months after colon resection surgery: What Helps?
Three months after colon resection I had a severe stomach cramp this morning and have not had a bowel movement yet. This is the first time this has happened. So far things have been good.

best of look ,,, have it all wrote down what you want to ask xx
@kathyoung, were you able to get some answers from your surgeon?
Hi Collen, I've had a bowel obstruction emergency surgey( I had bowel obstruction symptoms for the first three months but I thought it was just pregnancy so I didn't check until it's gotten late and had to have a surgery) and had a ostomy on June 2019 (I was 8 months pregnant, my baby boy died 11 hours after he was born 😢). After they've taken the biopsy, it said possibility of Crohn's disease. However, I didn't believe it for I've had no symptoms. Now, it's almost a year after my bowel resection. Everything was perfect. Recently, I've started noticing some mucus in my stool and I somtimes feel pain in the resection area. I'm so worried I don't want it to be Crohn's. I think I'll do a colonoscopy and take a biopsy to check. What do you think???
Hello. I came across this chat while researching for my husband. Had colon resection and removal of extensive adhesions. It has been 6 months and constipation is constant along with cramps and sharp pain. Have you received any news or feedback on your pain? Thank you.
Hello
This 2 Items was the best for my Recovery 100%. Free Cramps and constipacion. Honestly My full Recovery started after 18 months ups and downs, Depending on what you eat and your Colon tolerate. The most important part I learning with this surgery wS, No let you be constipated because will be very anoyng. Papaya fruit works great for constipacion and healthy for your colon.
Bless you for the quick response! Of the list of things tried for the cramping due to constipation, Papaya is not one. After 3 days of not eating (as I cringe) to avoid the pain and impacts of earring. He is having eggs and I am off to find some papaya. Thank you so very much.
😔Your welcome. Forgot. The more yellow color best. Will be ready to eat and works great.
@oumzaid, I'm only seeing your message today. Sorry for the delayed response. You've been through a lot. I can't imagine discovering bowel obstruction during pregnancy and coping with the loss of your newborn son too. I can imagine that you're now worried about a diagnosis, possibly of Crohn's or other digestive issue. I completely agree that your symptoms should be investigated. Have you had a colonoscopy in the meantime?
@terrip, I'm sorry to hear that your husband is still experiencing constipation accompanied with cramps and sharp pain. Before taking any supplements, you may wish to consult of husband's doctor. Being that it is Sunday today, you could ask the pharmacist. You want to be sure.
