Obstructions

I wanted to reply to the question about bowel obstructions. For many years, I've had intermittent intestinal obstructions that have required surgery and two that have put me in the hospital for a week to ten days with an NG tube, no food or water, a pic line with TPN and a morphine pump. I would personally rather have surgery than go through the process of getting a partial obstruction unblocked! L;-)

I have been on a gluten free diet for nearly 10 years now(Celiac Disease) There is no question that it can help those with adhesions simply because you are not putting as much strain on your intestines and digestive track. I very RARELY ever "cheat" because I KNOW what will follow. Days of fatigue, bouts of severe constipation,back pain, etc. Having said that, unless you are a Celiac, the diet is not ideal for everyone and is hard to follow properly if you eat out a lot or don't read food labels. Have a great New Year everybody! Lis:)
