[|Human|] My husband complained of severe abdominal pain . CT showed thickening of the ileum . Negative for diarrhea ,fever, nausea. Appendicitis , cholecystitis was ruled out. About 6 months ago, he had the same symptom, was treated with antibiotics. After 2 weeks, the thickening disappeared. A few days ago, it recurred. He is currently on antibiotics again.Thank you.
[|AI|]  According to the information provided it appears as part of colitis. Sometimes Appendicitis can mimic all this. Since the CT scan has ruled out appendicitis, the best treatment now is with antibiotics. After this episode diet modification will help to prevent recurrences. Avoid oily, fried, spicy food for 2 months. Have plenty of fruits, veg and fluids. Also avoid Red meat for another 2 months and limit their consumption. What is his weight? If overweight, lose weight and regular morning brisk walks for 20 min would be ideal. Consumption of meals at right intervals also is important... Many patients still do have recurrences but by diet control, it usually settles...
