When I first had adhesions, I either was constipated or had diarrhea. I have bloating and constipation. I think that they do cause this and also the medicines can cause constipation.

Subject: constipation/bloating
Has anyone had severe bloating and/or constipation caused by adhesions near their intestines? My mom went to a colorectal surgeon and he said that adhesions do not cause the severe bloating and constipation my mom is having. They do cause the small bowel obstructions, but not the constipation. He has done all the tests and can not determine what is causing her symptoms. He told her to try Miralax daily. She was on this before but it didn't help and made her very nauseous. Has anyone had to take this?
