Small bowel blockages

Adhesions do not go away with time. Like any other scar, they are there for good. The only "cure" is surgical release, but more surgery can cause new adhesions to form. Unfortunately, some of us form more adhesions than others, and that pattern stays with you as a genetic predisposition.

Thank you Jan, I definitely do not want more surgery, but I also want my life style back. any suggestions

Some people get relief with deep tissue massage to break up adhesions. But, it scares me to think about tearing those adhesions, since they are usually stronger than our intestines.

Other than that, dietary restrictions to avoid too much roughage can be an option. Some even live on a liquid diet, but that seems extreme to me.

There is no magic solution, like avoiding a single food or a couple of things.
