Chronic small bowel obstruction from adhesions

My doctor told me to try miralax which seems to be helping me at the moment but I am still pretty new to this. I meet with him today and am going to ask for a referral to a dietician/nutritionist at the mayo clinic in Phoenix. It's a few hours away from me but I am willing to make the drive for knowledge and help. I will let you know if I learn anything new.
I have read a lot about massaging your stomach as well, people say it seems to help, I've been massaging mine just to get used to doing it and maybe help a little

I think message is like snake oil. Adhesions are very strong and can’t be massaged away. If massage worked, doctors would be telling you to get messages instead of surgery. If you have had too many surgeries and the surgeon don’t recommend another surgery, they would recommend message yet they don’t. I have also asked a few doctors and they say it won’t help. I asked my trainer for a referral to a massage therapist and this therapist said it won’t help.
