chronic abdominal distention
by Kris1352, Jul 01, 2008 11:18AM
For the past few weeks I have had chronic abdominal distention. I have Crohns Disease and have had 2 surgeries to removie sections of my intestines. Surgeries were successful, but now it is a few years after the last surgery, and I just cannot get rid of the distention. I take Asacol, six 400 mg tabs per day which have done nothing for the distention. I have no cramps or pain......but have tried everything I know of to get rid of the distention. Gas is minimal. I have tried Gas x with no relief. I have been through so much with my surgeries, I sure dont want another one. What could be causing the distention....and what can be done about it? I am a small woman 52 yrs. old and my weight holds at about 114 give or take a lb. What should I do? I tried to get an appt. with my gastroenterologist, but had to weight 11 days for an appt.
