I am a 43 year old female with a medical history of kidney stones at least one a year and gastric bypass 10 years ago with no complications. I went to local ER 8 months ago with abdominal pain, sure that it was another stone I was surprised when they informed me that they were admitting me because the CT showed thickening of the ileum. I was there for 3 days treated with cipro, flagyl and pain medication, and put on a liquid diet. Released on a BRAT diet and same medication to FUp with GI. GI did colonoscopy and said not crohns, said it was probably IBS and I should just watch what I eat. I have been suffering with the same pain for over 2 weeks now, been back on the brat  nothing is helping. I dont want to f/up with GI to be told IBS just watch what you eat. What could be wrong?
Hello, Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. Forum. Since, you have not mentioned the kidney stone side & pain in abdomen, which side. As this is an important matter that ileum thickness may be, but, what was the cause of thickness. Cipro+ Flagyl was the treatment of amoebic colitis. Now your main complaint is pain in abdomen. In my opinion pain is from the stone and this is kidney pain. Get in blood examination for serum creatine level with urea (tests for kidneys). Ultrasound report is very important for assessment of both kidneys, for any untoward effects of stone. Consult a urologist and get his opinion. Good luck.  Chat Doctor.
