How do I eat after digestive tract surgery?
Digestive Health | Last Active: 4 days ago | Replies (70)Comment receiving replies
I’m very interested in joining this group and sharing/learning to control symptoms of small bowel blockage. Currently I’m in hospital with third episode (and out of town from my established surgeon and GI doc). I did request an RD consultation after my second bout and hospitalization in July, however, it took me three tries to find someone who would accept me as a patient for this condition, but she was very helpful and knowledgeable so I will be happy to share more on that when I get home and recover from this. Thank you for posting this important message.

Hi. I have had 4 hospitalizations for small bowel blockages plus partial blockages. Hope to see a surgeon soon to discuss possible removal of a small portion of small bowel that is narrow. Appreciate any information you can share. Do you think diet changes will help. At one time my GI Doctor said eat anything you want but that doesnt seem to be working. I am on 22 prescriptions.

Hello @jillyg
I'm glad that you found this discussion group. I am sorry to hear of all of the hospitalizations you have had as a result of small bowel blockage.
I look forward to learning more about what you have learned from the registered dietitian and how you are dealing with this complex digestive disorder.
Will you share about what type of surgeries you have had and what type of eating plan has been the most helpful to you?
