Hi Virgie, it is such a difficult problem many of us here can empathise and understand your suffering! I wanted to share that One thing I have found to really help is to slow down when eating, some might call it 'eating mindfully ' being tuned into what you are feeling and putting in your mouth, mindful of portion size and fibre intake but also eating slow and chewing well and breathing deeply into abdomen. I used to do the opposite of this - eating fast and doing things at same time. Breathing techniques can really relax the bowel and also stimulate peristalsis . Lying flat after eating REaLLY helps me after a meal, coupled with abdominal breathing (look up diagrammatic breathing ). Of course these techniques may not help if you have an outright mechanical issue such as a narrowing but might help you to manage, I've gone over a year without any now and these are the things that have helped me , I hope you get on top of things soon, x
