Hi Margaret.
Those are my exact symptoms as well. I have
been suffering with adhesions for 15 years now
and have had many surgeries to relieve them and
complications from them such as bowel obstructions
and resections. It's not fun. The best things
you can do, that I've found helpful anyway is
avoid any gassy foods such as broccoli, dairy
products, etc. Also fried foods are a problem.
Anything spicy or in heavy sauces usually does
me in also. Lean meats are best and grilled or
steamed veggies. Anything I can smash up is key.
Alcohol gives me heartburn bad and eating raw
veggies and too many nuts causes tremendous pain.
Hope that helps. I also try to stay active,
working out 4-5 times a week. It's hard with
the pain and constant diarhea, but I find if i
go before 10am i am better off. I do light
circuit/resistance training at Curves. It's
worked for me.
Best of luck and you may email me privately
if you want to chat!!
hugs and prayers,
Jeanne
