Is Bloating,stomach Pain,gas,indigestion And Loose Stools Normal When Suffering From Inflamed Appendix?

Hi I m Heather 32, I had an appendectomy 4 weeks ago laproscopic. Not ruptured, I went to the hospital because the pain was in my back and I thought it was a kidney stone. Ct showed inflamed appendix. It it normal to have bloating, random stomach pain, gas and indigestion and loose stools at this point?

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi. It is rare but possible to have these symptoms with appendicitis , as appendix is a small part if intestinal tract and can get inflammed as a process of infection of intestinal tract. I hope the operation of appendectomy has helped you to get a relief. Did you get theses symptoms before surgery or after ?
