Question About Obstructions

Hi Everyone,
How is everyone doing? Ok, maybe someone can answer me. Both of my
doctors- the family physician and the Gastro doctor both seem to
disagree on obstructions.
I have adhesions, and back in July of 1998 is when I had my 1st Bowel
Obstruction, so I know what it feels like. Everyday lately, I keep
having attacks of pain that seems like what it does with an obstructions
about 1-1 1/2 hours after eating anything. The pain seems to increase
and decrease in like a wave like pattern- gets really bad for a minutes
then backs off a bit, then worse and so on...
Plus I also start getting nausea, distended belly, and even diharrea
sometimes too.
My question is can someone have a bowel obstruction everyday that clears
up on it's own? Years ago the 1st bowel obstruction cleared up on its
own after days.
Right before the 1st bowel obstruction, in May of 1998 I had a
hysterectomy.
Anyways, the Gastro doctor said that obstructions can clear up on their
own. He said something about how the adhesions move around in different
positions. So, it could be obstructing me for awhile and then moving
around and clearing it up. The family doctor doesn't seem to believe
someone can have a bowel obstruction everyday. Also, just in August of
last year-2005, I more surgery to have my Gallbladder removed due to
Gallstones, and after that, I for sure had another obstruction and the
family doctor didn't seem to think I had one going on, but sent me for
xrays and the xrays did show I have one.
