<human>: my daughter is 20, she has very bad pains n her stomach, belly swollen. she had her gallbladder out in march. she was told she had the start of chrons.. but now they say they r not sure if it is..my question is why does she have this pain and why would her belly be swollen?
<bot>: HI. History of cholecystectomy noted. The swollen belly along with severe pain in abdomen has to be taken as intestinal obstruction unless proved otherwise. I would advise the following:: Standing X-ray of the abdomen along with Blood-complete blood picture, kidney functions tests, blood sugar fasting and post-lunch, Urine-routine, microscopy, culture and sensitivity (before start of antibiotic)Ultrasonography of abdomen. Colonoscopy is also very important.
