Hi my husband had an Ivor Lewis procedure 6 1/2 months ago, he also had a tumour removed from his bowel and a resection with no stoma, so basically two major operations in one. Recovery has been very slow as he was not able to have a feeding tube and therefore has lost an incredible amount of weight, has been very poorly. Just over a week ago he woke up feeling very unwell and has had a lot of diarrhoea and nausea. We have seen dr who gave him medication for the diarrhoea and have also seen our consultant who does not think its anything serious but has arranged a scan.
the reason for me posting is that he has also had an extremely noisy stomach, gurgling and what sound like fluid whooshing around just after he eats something, then he has to go to toilet. Consultant who is the upper GI Dr said could even be a stomach bug…..we do look after our 2 year old grandson who goes to nursery and always picks up some bug or other. We have yet to be followed up by the colorectal team which I find strange as am sure should have had follow up by now..
has anyone else experienced this loud gurgling etc please and if so what have you done about it.
many thanks
Jacky
