hernia? bowel obstruction?

My daughter, 26 and attending college in Chicago, is waiting for her appt with a new GI in 10 days and she has been having abdominal pain for weeks. Her current GI went on vacation (long story) and she has been in contact with her surgeon back home. Her surgeon was hoping it might have been some infection or inflammation and tried her on flagyl for almost 3 weeks and then she went back on augmentin since the flagyl was giving her a problem. Nothing improved with the change in antibiotics. Also, she just got over the flu 10 days ago. She has cut out dairy and sugars and is eating low fiber. She is post op since a July resection, 4cm, from her old ostomy site (j pouch for 10 years now and they are still not considering crohns).

She was in a little more pain last night and was up most of the night and called me in the middle of the night saying that she had a lump poking out near her bikini incision and was going to the ER. She never goes to the ER so I know she was concerned about this. She thought she may have a hernia. They checked her out, just an exam. Said they didn't want to expose her to any more radiation with a CT or even an xray and said they saw no sign of a hernia but she did have hyperactive bowel sounds. Dr said this could be a start of an obstruction. She has had obstructions before and knows how she feels, she doesn't think that is it. She has had hyperactive bowel sounds sometimes since her surgeries. Dr said it could have been a hernia that went back in?

Hello not so sick. The hospital sent her home and she doesn't have the tiny buldge anymore but she still has the pain she has had for the past 3 weeks. She has 10 more days before she can get in to see the new gi.

Thank you.
