Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What would cause my colon to distend? I mean, I had two CAT scan about 4 years apart and they did not find anything wrong only an enlarged liver, cysts in my gall bladder, and plenty of faecal loading, and lots of gas. No ascities were found. I do have a sedentary life style due to cervical cord compression between C4 to T1where there is a 33 mm graft from my Tibia which was performed by a top neurosurgeon in 2002. Recently I went for a holiday to Sri Lanka and to my surprise I discovered cysts in my faeces, there were about 6 cysts that I could see.
