Well, I have read several of the messages posted. I realize there are
others like me. It seems that only OB-GYNs believe that adhesions cause
pain. So I am considering seeing another OB-GYN for a second opinion. I
say this because I am having a bad day with cramping and PAIN! The IBS
meds that I have tried over that past 2 years do nothing to help.( I
think I have tried them all). My gastroenterologist does believe that
adhesions are the cause of my pain but tells me I have to learn to live
with it. Well I am tired of it. We discussed the use of a low residue
diet but because I carry the gene for colon cancer and I have had polyps
in the past(cancer kind), she doesn't recommend the low residue diet. So
I feel that I am in a corner now.
