Hi everyone, 

I am writing here as my grandma had Whipple procedure nearly 12 months ago. She really struggled with eating and taking the creole tablets after the surgery and still sometimes now. The main concern at the moment is that she experiences intense stomach pain and cramps which really zap all of her energy and make her feel so unwell. She is also a carer for my grandad so this makes her job even harder. The stomach pain can often last for a day and then disappear for a little while but recently it has been more frequent. She was told that all they could do was to refer to a gastroenterologist but considering the current situation with COVID-19, this is not possible. We have no idea how else to supprt her at the moment and I wondered whether anyone had any tips that have helped them to manage intense stomach pain - any exercises, specific diets, rememdies? Ayything would be very much appreciated.
