Hi! My name is Jo. Reading your post reminds me so much of my own issues most of my issues are from chronic intestinal pain and SBO. I’ve had many surgeries throughout my life. I’m 37 now and I’m struggling with keeping weight on and figuring out what I can eat that won’t cause a sbo and put me in the hospital. I drink endure and other supplements and I am very cautious of what I eat which is mainly soft foods and liquids. I struggle daily with nausea and I need advice about different ways to deal with that because I’m having trouble even when I take meds. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Jo. I also struggle with constant nausea. Unfortunately I have been told this is from adhesions and without more surgery, which my surgeon wont do unless emergent, I can only try to reduce it. Small meals, every 2-3 hrs, low sugar, no caffeine, low fiber/no fiber, and TONS of water! I dont have the answers for sure but we are all here to help! What kind of ensure are you drinking?
