Bowel obstructions caused by adhesions following abdominal surgery

I have a question for the small bowel obstruction support group. I hear that one shouldn't eat bread but I have a hard time not eating any bread and if I don't eat bread I am constantly hungry! So I do eat a bit as well as some small pastries which I know aren't meant to be good for the bland diet I am trying to follow. I am wondering if gluten free bread might be ok and if it would be better for SBO people like myself.

I have a hard time as well not eating pastries and bread. I will eat them in small portions and I will chew thoroughly, more than 20 chews each small bite. I am also careful to make sure that my bread or pastries has no more than 1-2 grams of fiber. So I will eat maybe one piece of white bread toast in the morning with some butter. I also take olive oil everyday at here is actually a study I found on the benefits of olive oil for SBO due to adhesions. Since I started taking olive oil I have not needed any miralax in about a month now and my discomfort has become less often and less intense.
