Hi there — thank you for describing your problem in detail. Based on what you’ve mentioned — upper abdominal pain radiating to the back, gas, watery stools 2–3 times/day, and persistence even after 6 months of C-section — here’s what I suspect and what should be done next
Possible causes
1. Gallbladder-related issue (post-pregnancy gallstones or biliary dyskinesia):
Common after delivery due to hormonal changes and altered fat metabolism. Pain typically starts in the upper abdomen and radiates to the back or shoulder blade, often after meals.
2. Gastritis or acid reflux (postpartum stress, medicines, or diet-related):
Causes burning pain in the upper stomach, bloating, and discomfort after meals.
3. Pancreatic irritation or mild pancreatitis:
Pain radiating to the back with watery stools and fullness can indicate digestive enzyme imbalance.
4. Post-infective IBS (irritable bowel syndrome):
If you had a stomach infection during or after pregnancy, it may have led to altered bowel movement and gas for months.
Recommended tests
Please get these done to identify the root cause:
Ultrasound abdomen (whole abdomen) – to check gallbladder and pancreas.
LFT (
Liver function test) and amylase/lipase – for pancreatic or gallbladder inflammation.
Stool routine & culture – to rule out infection or malabsorption.
CBC, ESR – to check for inflammation.
Thyroid profile (
TSH, T3, T4) – as postpartum thyroid imbalance can cause GI symptoms.
Initial symptomatic treatment (can start now)
(to be adjusted once reports come)
Tab Pantoprazole 40 mg once daily before breakfast for 10 days.
Syrup Digene / Mucaine gel 2 tsp after meals for 5–7 days for gas & bloating.
Tab Sporlac DS / Econorm twice daily for 5 days (probiotic).
Avoid fried, spicy, and oily foods; reduce tea/coffee. Eat soft, light meals in small portions.
Stay well-hydrated and avoid lying down immediately after eating.
If pain increases or becomes severe (especially with vomiting or fever), visit ER immediately — it can sometimes indicate gallstone pancreatitis.
Next step
Your case needs a tailored plan after reviewing your ultrasound and lab reports. I can personally go through your reports and design a complete treatment + diet plan specific to postpartum recovery.
You can message me directly on WhatsApp at nine three two six zero two zero five three six to share your reports and get stepwise management guidance.
Once I see your reports, I’ll prepare a detailed treatment schedule (medicines, diet, probiotics, and follow-up plan) customized for your symptoms.
