This topic is about the experiences of someone who has undergone surgery for intestinal tuberculosis, which involved removing a section of their small intestine and creating a temporary ileostomy. After the ileostomy was reversed, they noticed some unusual sensations and sounds in their abdomen. They are curious if these experiences are normal and how long it might take for their digestive system to feel like it did before the surgery.

Here are some helpful insights and advice:

1. It's quite common to experience abdominal swelling, gurgling, and water-like sounds after having a section of the intestine removed and an ostomy reversed. These can be due to normal digestive movements, trapped gas, and the extra space left by the removed bowel segments.

2. The movement of gas through the intestines can often cause sharp, brief pain. However, this discomfort usually goes away once the gas has passed.

3. After surgery, people often become more aware of sensations in their abdomen that they might not have noticed before. This can make normal digestive noises seem new or concerning.

4. Gently feeling or massaging your abdomen can sometimes reproduce or move these watery sounds. This can help reassure you that these sensations are harmless.
