Hi, I also had the adhesions wrapped around my intestines, and I also swelled up like a baloon. Because of the scaring my body stopped functioning normal, they did the surgery and wrapped I think its called sephran, I still was swelling. I had to change my diet to loww lowww sodium and sugar, because my body is not functioning well so it cant carry the excess. lots of pineapple fresh ones thou and eat the middle part of it which is really hard, chamemile tea,no meat only fish or chicken, no hard vegetable or hard fruits unless early in the day. Magnesium with zinc and lots of prune if trouble going to the bathroom. I hope this will help Valrie
