Ever since I had my gallbladder out my upper intestine is extremely sensitive to antibiotics and other medicines which cause them to swell. I just got off a course of prednisone for my sinuses and my upper intestine is still puffy and uncomfortable.
What makes me so miserable is that every time I eat or drink anything I feel full and bloated. I feel best when I first wake (after 8-12 hrs of not eating). My upper abdominal area becomes firm and very uncomfortable after eating too. Going the bathroom gives some relief too.
I think the medicines have my stomach in hyper mode and are causing intense indigestion - but instead of it all coming up as burps - it passes thru to my intestines. Taking 2 anti-gas pills helps (takes about an hour to kick in) - also keeping your intestines more clear. Take a laxative 1-2 times per week and eat light.
I hope this helps. If it does - try to find the cause for the change.
If you still have pain in your left abdominal area - you should have our appendix checked out.
