Get evaluated: An ulcer at the connection, aka anastomosis, between your stomach pouch and bowel could be the problem. A procedure called EGD can make this diagnosis. Okay to get in quickly to your regular doc and ask for a referral. If you have severe or worsening pain, fever or vomiting then go to the ER. Be Well.
