I am a 39 yr old female. I had my appendix removed laproscopically in Aug. 2007. Still had cramping, did tests and had my gallbladder removed March 27, 2008. I continue to have cramping in my lower abdomen that mimicks severe menstrual cramping (i had a hysterectomy in may 2005).I also feel this cramping to a severe degree within an hour of eating just about anything. Usually within 30 minutes. I also have diarrhea just after the cramping starts and it is sometimes yellow, but mostly light brown. I have only had less than 10 normal bowel movements since the surgery. What could this be? I have had 2 colonoscopies done, the most recent in Nov. 2007, and they are clean. also have had the upper colon checked and it's clean. What could my next step be? Can this be "fixed"?
