Hi Im a 23 yr old female,I had a miscarriage nearly a year ago and since then Ive had nothing but problems with my digestive tract which my gp pits down to ibs caused by the stress of it all, I go through bouts of constipation rarely diarrheoa and very occaisonally lower abdominal cramps they put me on buscopan and colofac which do little for me my concern at the moment however is my abdomen has swollen to the point I look 4months pregnant n feels quite heavy its been this way for a month doctor said its constipation but Im not constipated at the moment and the swelling is constant its solid n quite tender in places and nothing seems to reduce it theres no other pain apart from my back where it seems to be pulling around the sides I just wondered if this could be ibs or if its something more serious? I should mention my dad is currently being tested for crohns disease. Any answers would be very much appreciated thank you. Steph
Howell come to ChatDoctorAbdomen distension could be likely due to collection of flatulence, because of the stress condition this may be likely it is advisable to go for exercise aerobic exercise would be fine, I would suggest the following medicine for this condition.1) Tab Clinician with Chlordiazepoxide three times in day 2) Tab Omeprazole 40 mg once in day3) Tab Risperidone 30 mg once in daycare a fiber diet, Chat Doctor.
