Its a very serious situation and needs to be treated accordingly.

Interesting. I didn't know about this. Thanks for sharing. Luckily, I'm having surgery soon so hopefully that helps reduce my risk of any life threatening situation. 

Hello, I have had a bowel twist before that was caused by excessive abdominal exercises. I had surgery for it and it was successful. I was able to keep the J-pouch. Having a twist is very painful and I really hope you are doing well.

Glad to hear your surgery was successful. Hoping for the same outcome here. Thanks for your reply.

WOW, I never knew excessive exercise can cause bowel twists- I knew it can cause hernias though, I am glad I know that now, thanks for sharing and I am glad you are doing better.

Doing so much better thanks! The first three weeks after surgery were rough but things got to normal after that and I’m back to eating my normal diet and there’s no pain now like there used to be. It’s great.

I am soo happy to hear that! Definitely take it easy and be careful when exercising. We have a delicate system so we definitely have to treat it delicately too. Soo happy you are okay
