One of the things that helps some is eating a low residue (low fiber)diet and using stool softeners every day (the non-stimulant type only). The gastro I saw said this was okay and helps by keeping stool moving through the bowel where it has narrowed by adhesions.
I've finally started getting over my guilt at having to use pain medication. I have pretty good luck with Ultram and it doens't dope me up. I so hear your pain. Good luck.
