I have a question about adhesions. My daughter had a blockage last night that resolved after 4 hours of pain. Her surgeon did a pouch revision in May of this year to change the inlet to her pouch since she had many many strictures at the old inlet which led to blockages over and over. She has been feeling pretty good, aside from pouchitis since May until last night. She had a few abdominal cramps before lunch and thought it maybe premenstrual. Then she ate a bigger than usual amount of food for lunch, but nothing she hasn't eaten before, just a large amount of it. She felt full afterwards but not blocked and was going to the bathroom as usual. Then before dinner she felt a little funny. She ate dinner and then about an hour later she was blocked. Nothing passing through, not even gas. She was distended, but not as bad as when she had the stricture and her bowel sounds were not as loud. She threw up her dinner 2 hours into the blockage.She tried rocking her hips in the air and a warm water enema and a warm bath and the heating pad and walking. Finally, after 4 hours of pain it resolved and she started going again, a lot.

Are blockages from adhesions like that? Her ob/gyn said her ultrasound (she had to have one since she has fluid in her pelvis area from time to time) said she has a lot of adhesions from all the abdominal surgeries she has had.

Any ideas? Thank you!
