ralph,

doctors hate saying its adhesions, give it names like ulcerative colitis or crohns - I have endured so many scans etc to no avail - adhesions dont show up on them. thank heavens its not crohns, that is much worse than adhesions,

u would think if they can send guys to the moon etc they could help us poor souls with adhesions after surgery,

try slippery elm powder for the bowel , helps with healing and keeps things moving. vitamin C and go easy on alcohol, fatty foods not too much insoluble fibre (cereals etc) but plenty of soluble, fruit and veg so the bowel doesnt have too work too hard

Soluble fibre forms a viscous gel and disperses well in liquid. Examples include oats, beans, and many types of fruit. Insoluble fibre does not disperse in water and passes through the digestive system largely intact. Some good sources of insoluble fibre include wheat bran, whole-grain breads, and many types of vegetables.

Also try accupuncture, sometimes it is used to release adhesions. Its also good for stress relief which most people have with chronic pain (especially when unable to diagnose).

hope I have been some help,

Diana
