    Completely avoid eating fats/spicy foods/protein and eat in low quantity. This is the only way to avoid flare up.

    In addition to pain do you have other symptoms like bloating,fullness or burping,etc?

    Hi Julie, I am six weeks post op and suffered the same painful and annoying attacks whilst waiting for surgery. Try and get some Buscopan. Really helped me with pain. There are loads of good websites with advice on what to eat. I found Caffeine and Alcohol gave me some probs.

    Definitely keep pestering your GP and go see them every time you have an attack. Also contact surgical outpatients as that’s too long to be waiting on an appointment. Sounds like someone hasn’t sent a referral in for you to get th surgery! xx

    Keep going back to your GP.... It is ridiculous that you are still waiting. Unfortunately, these days if you just sit and wait patiently you are ignored or even forgotten!! 

    ?ASAP go and complain to the GP OR HOSPITAL...'.Health is Wealth'
