Hi Tracy, I am so sorry to hear about everything you have been going
through, Being hospitalized, bowel obstruction, the darned swelling, and the
nausea. I am so sad for you. It must have been just awful, especially since
you just went through it a few weeks prior to that episode. When I go
through tough times, I drink a lot not alcohol darn it! Doesn't mix well
with the meds. Either do a liquid diet, soft diet, or a BRAT diet. I also
have Gastroparesis. I am suppose to see a nutritionist, but have put it off
along with everything else til my ins. kicks in Dec. 1st. I hate the
swelling, I put on sweats, or my sons sweat type shorts. I have had a rough
week also, but NOTHING compared to you. I know what you mean sick of being
sick. I want to go out for dinner and PIG OUT!! BUT..I know in the long run
I will pay for it. Has your doctor suggested foods for you to eat, or not to
eat? When my pain is so bad and my intestines are ripping before, during and
after BM's and I cry and double over from it all, I don't want to eat
because of the end result. I know that the bowels are always contracting,
but with adhesions wrapped around them and the stuff coming out causes them
to expand, it is awful! In this day and age, and modern medicine, there
should be someone in every state in the U.S. that can help ARD sufferers.
What exactly do they do for you when you are in the hospital with a bowel
obstruction? Do they give you certain meds to help? Do they ever talk about
the possibility of surgery when you go in to possibly take down adhesions
that are looped around your bowel causing this? You take care, rest, and I
pray that you will be better soon. Cheryl D.

Hi All...
I've been pretty quiet lately but today I'm really in need of some support.
I was just hospitalized for 8 days on Sept 25th for yet another bowel
obstruction....which they again blame on these darn adhesions...Over the
past two days I'm dealing with the same symptoms as I did just a few weeks
ago...terrible pains in my adbomen, my tummy distended so much I'm sure
anyone who didn't know me would think I was expecting and the nausea...The
nausea is just horrible...yet I have not vomited...yet
My bowels are a mess...I feel like I have to have a bowel movement but only
produce very small amounts of very thin strange looking stuff...I know too
much info I'm sure....
I just can't believe just adhesions keep causing this and nobody will fix
it....I often wonder if it's something I eat that causes this or at least
get's it going....This past week I have been snacking on crasins...It is the
only new food item I have been eating and even noticed that I had undigested
ones in my bowel movement this morning....Could this be what has caused this
flare up....Do any of you find certain foods flare up problems for you?? I
guess I'm just sick of feeling sick.
Thanks for listening!
Tracy
