Prevention

Just returned from a hospital stay for my third visit in 2 1/2 years.ions. Luckily no surgery this time but that horrible NG tube is almost worse than the surgery. Is there any other solution than an NG tube?

I have read that a low fiber diet can help. I will try that. Is there any way to help a blockage self-dissolve while one is at home instead of going on a stomach pump?

Are there any preventions other than diets, such as stretching or laying down during an episode. I have heard stress is a factor, is that true. I have low blood pressure 118/78.

In this day and age of genome research certainly the cause of the formation of these adhesions will be discovered. I'm afraid to go to away from my home city for fear I will have a problem. I'm basically very afraid.

Can anyone add some comments. Does anyone have any doctors that have lots of experience in this in Northern California.
