I have had a stricture in my terminal ileum for many years, so frequently had bowel obstructions, so requiring and ng tube, but have avoided surgery so far. Their is very good advice from clinic in the UK, but I haven't found a clinic or physician, gastroenterologist with that extensive experience in the US. Two years ago I put myself on a liquid diet, now live on smoothies and cream soups mostly. Much less obstruction but still have diarrhea if I eat to much fat or have lactose or gluten. Can you recommend a specialist? I live in North Carolina, but I am willing to travel for care

My wife died of radiation enteritis of small intestine due to pancreatic cancer. It completely destroyed it. She starved to death. Her gastro doctor, who inititally found the problem was Dr. Mysore Nagaraja. He is a very caring and competent Doctor, who was not directly involved with her treatment after her surgery, chemo and raditation. He did however keep in touch with her through out her journey. I called him personally as a last resort when everyone else had given up and he had done research to find a possible soultion but it was too late. She was to weak to go into or out of surgery again. He is in Southern California and I would recommend him.
