Chronic small bowel obstruction from adhesions

Just checking in to say that after four days I am feeling better, but I still feel that someone is squeezing my ribs.. this is how my attacks usually start - severe pain in my upper abdomen, just below the sternum and the sense that someone has their hands on my waist, just about lower rib level and is squeezing them. Right now i just feel a bit tight in the ribs. I have called a nutritionist, and my GP... I've been mostly eating soup and soft food.. Does anyone else experience the same onset pain?

I'm glad to hear that you are feeling better now. Probably everyone's experience with pain depends on where the obstruction or adhesions are located, so there is no "one-size-fits all."

Have you tried the massage or stretching exercises yet? That might be helpful in addition to the diet.
