Reply to "adhesion's"

Hi JONW, First of all, let me say how horrible that must be! My surgery was in 2011 and it was 2 years ago that I had my first blockage due to scar tissue/adhesions, I think. It was not fun, but it cleared quickly. I had another blockage about a year later. By the time it happened, I knew the feeling and did a vigorous self-massage, which made me have vomiting and diarrhea, but it did clear. I have not altered my diet, except to avoid corn, because no matter how much I chew, I am not sure it can be broken down into little enough pieces. I routinely eat salads for lunch and sauteed kale. Veggies are supposed to be good to the guy microbiome, so I figure that helps. I just make sure I am chewing my food really well. If I have the symptoms of a blockage, I am going to do a vigorous self massage of my abdomen, even if it makes me vomit, because this is better than weeks in the hospital, and NG tube, and possible surgery.  Those are my thoughts. There may be others with more experience and hopefully they will respond.
