A member asked:
My father was diagnosed with a twisted stomach how can he b3 helped he is 99 years old?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Volvulus: Gastric volvulus can occur in several ways, so its treatment depends on the axis on which it twists. But at 99 years old, your father is probably not a good candidate for surgical repair. His physician may recommend a certain diet (small, frequent meals, for instance) in order to help, depending on the kind of twist he has.
