Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Pain in the abdomen radiating to back and bloating can be due to
acute pancreatitis , gall stone disease ,
peptic ulcer disease or hepatitis.
It would have been great had I examined your husband on my own.
Do not worry.
I would suggest you to ask him to
- Have a soft,bland diet
- Avoid oily,spicy food
- Get an abdominal ultrasound done to look at the exact pathology
- Get a
complete blood count.
hemoglobin, Liver function test, amylase,lipase, urea , creatinine done
- Stop smoking, stop alcohol
- I would start tablet
Pantoprazole . Your doctor can guide on the exact dosage.
I would also suggest you to take your husband to a gastro-enterologist. He/she can examine him and correlate clinically.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
Wishing your husband's good health.
