SBO due to Adhesion

@hopeful33250 , may I ask if you are on a permanent liquid diet? I've gone mostly liquids, smoothies, and soft, easy-to-digest foods, but I have been desperate enough to consider trying to stay on a liquid diet altogether--I know that diet doesn't actually prevent or cause sbo's caused by adhesions, but heavy meals of solid foods definitely make things a LOT worse if an sbo starts while the food is still in my stomach. I sometimes wish I could survive on nothing at all, so that I don't have to go through the misery of having food bumping up against a blockage!

No,@nancybev.I only use liquids when I'm having a lot of pain. I do keep my diet light, both in the amount of food I eat and the type of foods.
It is different for everyone to find what works for them. Your doctor can help.

@nancybev
I would also like to add that while my diet isn't completely liquid, even the foods that I do eat are high in liquid content. Fruit like watermelon is high in water content. Here is an article from the internet regarding foods high in water content, https://oureverydaylife.com/286640-list-of-water-rich-foods.html

Do you have soups, etc.?
