History Of Kidney Stones And Gastric Bypass. Taken Cipro, Flagyl For Abdominal Pain. What Is Wrong?
I am a 43 year old female with a medical history of kidney stones at least one a year and gastric bypass 10 years ago with no complications. I went to local ER 8 months ago with abdominal pain, sure that it was another stone I was surprised when they informed me that they were admitting me because the CT showed thickening of the ileum. I was there for 3 days treated with cipro, flagyl and pain medication, and put on a liquid diet. Released on a BRAT diet and same medication to FUp with GI. GI did colonoscopy and said not crohns, said it was probably IBS and I should just watch what I eat. I have been suffering with the same pain for over 2 weeks now, been back on the brat nothing is helping. I don't want to f/up with GI to be told IBS just watch what you eat. What could be wrong?

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Since , you have not mentioned the kidney stone side & pain in abdomen , which side.
As this is a important matter that ileum thickness may be , but , what was the cause of thickness.
Cipro+ flagyl was the treatment of amoebic colitis.
Now your main complaint is pain in abdomen .
In my opinion pain is from the stone and this is kidney pain.
Get in blood examination for serum creatinein level with urea ( tests for kidneys).
Ultrasound report is very important for assessment of both kidneys , for any untoward effects of stone .
Consult a urologist and get his opinion.
Good luck.
