Reply to "Scared to eat food after obstruction :("

Hi Vergie, 

How about if we take this slowly and start at the beginning...When did you have your first occlusion? What happened? What brought it on (if you know)...was it following a heavy or unusual meal?

Where is it situated (if they have figured that much out...Where do you feel the blockage? In the part of the intestine leading into your pouch? somewhere higher up in the intestine? On the right? The left? In the middle? does it come on quickly or slowly? Can you still sip water during the blockage or is everything shut out?)

Have you had an MRI or scan done to see if there is a narrowing in the intestinal tract? Could it be adhesions or do you have a twist or elbow somewhere lower down? after the occlusion is your output water? Is that why you are having accidents or is there another reason?

I know that this is a lot but try to answer as many as you can and then we can move forward with suggestions for everyone who has any experience in this.

I hope that we can find something that will help you figure this out.

Sharon
