<bot>: Hi! From your history of repeated surgeries you underwent, there are a few possibilities which should be looked into. Without having the details of the investigations you have undergone till now, following is suggested:1) With the surgeries you have undergone, immediate clinical diagnosis whicChatDoctores into mind is multiple post-operative adhesions of the intestines to the previous scars, due to which the intestines are not able to move smoothly and propel both liquids and solids resulting in sub acute to acute intestinal obstruction. In this case the person gets recurrent pain abdomen with inability to pass stool or flatus. Since you have got the problem since last 2 years, it seems more like a sub acute one than acute. For this you have to consult a general surgeon, who will examine you clinically preferably during an attack, and may advise you for a few investigations, like TLC, DLC, HBO, X-ray abdomen with diaphragm in upright position, and an ultrasound. 2) Next, with history of cholecystectomy, one has to consider stones in the CBD, and any pathological process n the pancreas. This will also need some special investigations like ultrasound abdomen, or may be a CT scan of the abdomen if advised by the doctor. Along with this, serum amylase, lipase, and an LFT might also help.3) Sometimes irregular dietary habits may also be the culprit. Try to take fat free meals at regular intervals, with more of roughage, and liquids and a regular exercise program depending on your age and body weight.4) Fall these investigations are already done, and nothing could be detected till now, then you may have to consult a laparoscopic gusto entomological surgeon, who may consider doing an endoscopic examination of your intestinal tract and also a diagnostic laparoscopy of the abdomen if thought appropriate in your case.
