Is someone who died after severe suffering from an illness that necessitated bowel removal, and was patient, grateful, and steadfast in their worship, considered a martyr? And will Allah exempt them from the torment of the grave? And what is the interpretation of the dreams some people had about them after their death?

Severe affliction before death may elevate one's rank, and the one experiencing it is hoped to attain the reward of martyrdom, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "The one who dies of a stomach ailment is a martyr." And "the one who dies of a stomach ailment" refers to anyone who dies from any disease in their abdomen, generally. Dying from a stomach disease is one of the means of protection from the torment of the grave, based on his (peace be upon him) saying: "Whoever is killed by his stomach will not be tormented in his grave." And righteous dreams seen by a Muslim, or seen for him, are the glad tidings mentioned in the Almighty's saying: "For them are good tidings in the worldly life and in the Hereafter." We believe that the dreams seen for your brother might be among the good tidings, especially considering his prior affliction, steadfastness, and death from a stomach ailment. However, it must be emphasized that it is part of the creed of the Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jama'ah not to bear witness for any specific individual concerning Paradise or Hell, except for those specified by revelation.
