Hi Em -

Im listenin to ya! Think my situation is a bit different. Seems the bloating is what holds me back because it isnt 'normal' bloating and sometimes I cant even move. Have to find a way to pass the gas and even then, Im not free of this 'paralyzation' feeling. I feel then that the drug only masks the problem and since my goal is not to end up in emergency again, I dont want to take the chance on the adhesions forming to such a degree, Im in the ER. Thats where Im at in this. Thanx for the info.
