Sorry to learn of your trouble with Pelvic Radiation Disease. I also had repeated bowel obstuctions due to a long stricture of my ileum, but so far have been able to avoid surgery by a very controlled liquid diet with plenty of nutrients achieved by a very active blender and use of many types of protein powder, MCT as primary fat source and avoidance of lactose, gluten and other triggers (FODMOP). started liquid diet two years ago which finally relieved most symptoms. Hope your surgery helps.

I’ve had similar experience. Radiation, chemo, and hysterectomy for cervical cancer. One small bowel resection, and one blockage repaired laparoscopicly since then. I’m now twenty years past the original treatments, and experiencing inflammatory enteritis periodically. I avoid fiber, fat, and big meals. It seems like there is nothing in particular that sets off an episode. Sometimes the episodes last only a few days, and can be managed with Imodium and BRAT diet. Other times, the episodes last a week or so. I loose weight that I am unable to put back on. Am getting weaker every year. Gastro doctor prescribed Creon, a highly expensive drug that gave me diarrhea. It’s a rough road those of us with enteritis are on. I wish I had some suggestions for you all on how we can manage our symptoms. It just seems like we have to keep on keeping on. Wishing you all well.
