>Hi,
>I have always suffer from constipation. After several colonoscopies,
endoscopies, MRIs, Cat scan, barium enema, it was determined that I suffer
from mild gastritis, diverticulitis, GERD, and a hiatal hernia. I had
problem digesting food and pills/capsules. I take liquid vitamins and
protein, and I also follow a low residue diet.
>I had a hysterectomy on July 1992, ovaries weren't removed, and 3
laparascopies after that because I always felt pain in my lower right side.
I can feel a mass. My last lap showed that I have adhesions in my liver and
pancreas. I feel a pull down of my intestines most of the time. In this
board most of the adhesion sufferers speak about a pull up and I wonder
whether anyone feels a pull down. It is an awful experience. I have to
place to my right hand below my stomach to lift up my intestines when
walking up and down the staircase and also when sitting down. Is my case
unique or somebody share my problem?

Hi Vinky and Christine,
I am a 47 year old female. I can sympathize with both of you. I have
suffered from adhesions for most of my life. Vinky, you talk about a
pulling up sensation. I know what you are saying. My pain pulled both
up, and down at the same time. I also had a lot of gas and bloating.
Vinky, you also talk about a diet the Mayo Clinic has you on. I was
also at the Mayo Clinic, they could not figure out what my problem was.
They send me home with a prescription for painkillers and high fiber
diet. I have a lot of respect for the Mayo Clinic, but I was not happy
with that. I just had a laparoscopic surgery to remove the adhesions on
my liver and throughout my abdomen. The surgeon said, "If I would have
decided to live on painkiller I would not have had a good quality of
life." Therefore, my advice to you is, if you are sure that you have
adhesions on your liver, find a surgeon who is willing to do
laparoscopic surgery. I would also advice you to look into a therapy
that I had that helped a lot. This therapy helped a lot in relieving my
pain and gas. You can find information about this therapy at
http://www.clearpassage.com. This therapy is known for having done wonders for
many people. I pray you find the help you need to live a life with
quality. Rosetta Miller
