Dear Deb,
Yes it could very well be a consequence of adhesions. What you need to
think about now is perhaps changing your diet ( look up the various
diets in the archives) I try to stick to a low residue diet as that is
right for me. What you really need to learn about are sings of bowel
obstructions....I know the pain and it is almost unbearable. I am sorry
this is happening to you. I do not see an IAS contact in N.J. but if
you email Dr. Wiseman or Tracy ( the site administrator) they may be
able to find a doctor near you who understands the plight of the ARD
sufferer. In the mean time educate yourself as best you can on what it
means to suffer from ARD....it is best when we are aware of all aspects
of our disease and we can be our own advocates with our medical
professionals.
Love,
Dawn

I'm no doctor, just a fellow sufferer like you but I hope you consider me a new friend.
