Reply to "Abdominal Pain - Possibly from Adhesions"

Hi MADDIE18,

Thank you for responding to my post.

I am curious how your doctor determined what the problem was because we are still in the stages of trying to figure out exactly what is happening. All of my scans and test results come back normal when I am experiencing the pain. There is nothing showing "proof" that I have a blockage or that there are adhesions or that my intestine is twisting/bending. My doctor is thinking that is what's happening based on my symptoms but we don't know for sure. 

Also, how often do you have episodes of severe pain? Do they last for hours like mine? What do you do when it happens? So far my doctor is telling me to go to the ER if it happens but it is exhausting to go through the ER experience each time just to have them tell me everything looks normal and send me home. I know it's better to be safe than sorry but I wish there was a better option.

Have you been able to go long periods of time without experiencing an episode? Are dietary changes helping? So far this has happened once every few months since it started, even with dietary changes.

Thank you again!
