Finally.....

Finally, the morning came, I count down to the time that can see the doctor. He came at around 10.45 am and after a careful diagnose, he suggest to do abdomen x-ray.

X-ray report shown that there is a lot of wind inside my stomach that can't pass through because of the twisted colon. To see more detail, I was advised to do city-scan.

The problem confirmed, it is twisted colon (known as colonic volvulus 
is a condition in which blood flow is restricted, causing chronic gas and fluid accumulation when certain portions of the large intestine becoming twisted. A twisted colon can cause bowel movement obstruction, causing the tissue in the affected area to die off. Other twisted colon symptoms include chronic abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and in more severe cases, chronic dehydration.)


The doctor suggest me to undergo a colonoscopy, a procedure that uses a tube to enter either the nose of the stomach or the anus, in efforts to relieve abdominal distention and chronic vomiting.
