hi,

I’m going through this right now, I’ve had abdo surgery in the past, now I’m getting serious partial bowel obstructions, doctors have told me it’s due to adhesions, diverticulitis Volvulus and so on. It’s driving me up the wall too.i just want it all to go away. The pain is horrendous, they advise you to go on soft sloppy diets, all are not appetising at all., im afraid I follow the no food for diet for a few days and go back to normal eating. When the pain is at its worst I can’t eat anything, I get severe pain, my abdo swells up I get terrible indigestion and so on.

well they tell me surgery is no longer an option because its too risky but pain medication doesn’t work, I have been referred to pain management. Does anyone have any good/ bad experiences with this ????
