She frequently has pain in the RLQ after eating. She claims the pain often gets so bad that she is afraid to eat and has been progressively consuming below her caloric needs. She currently takes Asacol and Lomotil to manage the symptoms of Crohn's disease. After undergoing a colonoscopy, an obstruction resulting from stricture in the terminal ileum was discovered. Emergency surgery was performed to remove the obstruction and a resection was done with the remaining intestine. RD's gastroenterologist recommends bowel rest and expects her to have a full recovery.
