General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi,

Noted your history about ileostomy 2 years back and could eat anything but now developed abdominal cramps, vomiting and indigestion.
The probable causes could be as follows:
Intestinal infection.
Intolerance to some specific foods or beverages.
Intestinal obstruction
This can be diagnosed by the following:
Consult a General Surgeon for clinical examination and investigations:
X-ray of abdomen in standing position.
Ultrasonography of abdomen and CT scan if needed.
Tests of stool for three consecutive days.
Relevant tests of blood and urine.
All these will lead to a probable cause and thus give a plan for proper management.
Till then stop the foods and beverages that you feel cause more problems.
Be on liquid diet.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T Chandrakant, ENT & General Surgeon
