I had a temporary ileostomy for 15mths, reversed in Feb 2025. Since the reversal I’ve experienced 4 incidents of intense cramps in the upper centre of my abdomen, about 3 fingers above my tummy button. This can last for a couple of hours. I mentioned the first 2 incidents to the surgeon at my post-op checks at 9wks and was advised to walk regularly and drink plenty of water, which I was doing anyway! I’ve also tried gentle massage and heat packs. My diet is including more fibre too. Any suggestions please??
Hi AlbaH
I haven’t had this type of surgery so unfortunately I can’t help, but I hope that others who have had the reversal done will come along and post if they’ve had something similar happen.
