Tips for managing chronic small bowel obstructions?
Digestive Health | Last Active: 2 days ago | Replies (192)Comment receiving replies
Hi, @sarah303 - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Having more episodes with the small bowel obstruction (SBO) and soreness afterwards sound rough.
I'm tagging a few members on Connect who might know about small bowel obstruction without prior surgery @jlharsh @janetwass @mbs555 @shaleenv @catherine1290 @striplingmom @redreb. Hoping these members can let you know if they had SBO without prior surgery and whether they had adhesions or some other cause of SBO. They can also share about what to expect in your upcoming GI appointments and what testing you might undergo.
In the meantime, here is some Mayo Clinic information on bowel obstruction that may be useful:
- Intestinal obstruction

How has your appetite been lately, sarah303? Have you had abdominal pain?

Thank you for the welcome and tagging others who may be able to share their similar experience. Appetite and pain are fine on a usual daily basis. During an episode abdominal pain is severe and no appetite. Soreness and decreased appetite is experienced for a day or so after.
