Fergalicious- I’m so sorry to hear what’s going on with you and I can certainly empathize..
I had 10” of my small intestines removed in 2018 due to a blockage that turned out to be a carcinoid tumor. Then in 2019 they removed 11” of my colon/large intestine due to another tumor (21” total gone and no gallbladder to help). I’ve been through PRRT twice (Mayo in 2021 and UNM Cancer Center in 2025). And I’ve been on Octreotide injections since April 2018.
So the stomach spasms are pretty common with intestinal surgery. I have found that what I eat, how much I eat, and how quickly I eat has a definite impact. I also have Dicyclomine to take when they get bad. Your intestines are cramping so if you can use a heating pad or a hot bath, that might help. And when one does hit, only eat soft, small meals - nothing spicy, hard to digest, no caffeine nor alcohol. And nothing heavy (like no heavy sauces).
Unfortunately, these are part of this disease we’re dealing with but we can find ways to help. I hope you do.
