I see this is an old post. Have you found comfort? I am struggling with severe abdominal adhesions.

I understand what you are going through. I've not found anything for relief either. I've tried acupuncture and pain management without success. I've had an appointment with a different gastroenterologist, who ordered some lab work, CT, and endoscopy. The lab work and CT were normal, and the endoscopy is scheduled next month. I've been trying, again, low FODMAP foods and digestive enzymes. Not sure that it's doing anything. I'm having normal bowl movements and urine output. But the mid abdominal area from R to L and over the belly button area are painful and tender most of the time. Heating pad helps. Maybe the endoscopy will show something? It's frustrating to deal with and to deal with a slow to coordinate health care system with long waits for appointments and authorizations.
I wish you luck in your struggle.
