Short gut syndrome
5 years ago I had a small intestines blockage and had to have all but 2 feet of my small intestines removed. I was on TPN and a feeding tube for a couple years years now I am eat food. I am able to eat most foods except raw vegetables and high fiber foods.
Over two years ago I started having constant abdominal spasms and constant nausea, doctors don't know what is causing it. The spasms feels like someone is twisting my insides and some pressure. Nausea medications don't help with the nausea.

Hello, my mother had the same symptoms but for 6 months or so. It turned out she needed emergency surgery for abdominal adhesions.

1 ReactionIt could be something “looping” which with a scan was seen in my own abdomen. I had small intestines also removed because of a mesh infection. I’m now seeing a surgeon about this. I know it could be caused by scar tissue.
Praying things improve!

3 ReactionsAbout a month ago my doctor prescribed haldol for my constant abdominal spasms and constant nausea. The haldol is helping. Finally I only have little abdominal pain and little nausea. Pain level is a 3 compared to a 7/8 before haldol.

1 ReactionHadol is helping with the abdominal spasms and nausea but I am still having other symptoms that my doctors are ignoring.
@tjanet is this the same medication you are taking?

Yes,That is the medication that I am taking for pain and nausea. It's a antipsychotic medication but it is also used for pain and nausea.
