Hi Scott- have had a stricture in the past which was different from what's happening now. Just seems everything I eat or not gives me cramping and nausea plus some itching in that area. I use the irrigation tube to clear these symptoms which worked well for awhile. Now it seems to be a daily event. Maybe I just back up quickly do today I'm trying a lax and see if things improve. I have an appt with doc on July 7
