Dear Jennie,
If you are experiencing a lot of problems with constipation and other bowel-related symptoms, adhesions may be causing these problems.
If so, you may find a low residue diet is better than a high-fiber diet...or...several smaller meals throughout the day.
The same goes for exercise! If exercise increases your problems (with pain, etc.), then too much exercise may not be helpful.
I'm not a medical professional. I'm only sharing what I have learned.

This is all so familiar! I totally need to be on a high-fiber diet and exercise more. That really helped me in the past. Its so difficult though- but then, so are the horrible stomach aches. The faint, panting, worse-than-labor, all-night, exhausted-but-can't-sleep-because-you're-too-busy-moaning stomach aches. You know the ones... Jennie
