What could cause discomfort below ribs after surgery for Diverticulosis? Surgery had adhesion related complications
Patient: I had surgery due to diverticuli disease two years ago. During the surgery there where adhesions that connected my descending colon to my spleen.  The original surgery got more complicated due to this.  I have had discomfort just under my rib cage ever since. During the last several months the discomfort is increasing from a few hours daily to all day. The surgeon indicated that my stomach might be pushing against another organ causing the discomfort. Doctor: YES YOUR SURGEON IS RIGHT YOU NEED TO GET INVESTIGATED FOR THE ORAN CAUSING THE DISEASE AFTER CONSULTING GASTROENTEROLOGISTOT IT CAN BE FOOD PROTEIN ALLERGY AS ONE OF FOOD PROTEIN START SUDDENLY REACTING WITH BODY PROTEINS IF LEFT UNDIAGNOSED INCREASES GET BLOOS SERUM TESTS FOR SPECIFIC ANTIBODIES FOR MILK WHEAT OR OTHER MAJOR FOODS THIS CAN ALSO HELP IN MY OPINION IF NOTHING COME IN OTHER REPORTS
