General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood the concerns.
Distension with nausea, dizziness and upper right quadrant pain with history of hydronephrosis and colitis in past can be due to the following reasons:
This can be recurrence of colitis
Cholecystitis.
Gastritis.
I would advise you the following in such a situation.
X-ray of the abdomen in standing position gives clue whether a particular part of intestine is affected.
Tests of stool, blood and urine.
Ultrasonography of the whole abdomen.
Clinical evaluation by your Doctor and second opinion of a General Surgeon ifedical management fails.
Once diagnosed the treatment will be as per the cause found.
I find this answer helpful
