Glad for the progress. A team of 6 doctors, wow! What is modality of the intestines? I'm not familiar with that. Anyway, they told me to eat smaller amounts more frequently too, and it helps. I eat something about every 3 hours (except while sleeping, of course). Keep on truckin'. Lelia

Thanks, Lelia, I ended up having an allergic reaction to the medication and had to stop it. The bloating and distention and constipation are now back. Waiting to hear from the team at St. Mary's as to what happens now. I thought the medication was the answer but I guess not. They said that my intestines were not moving fast enough and the medication would help with that. I was able to eat real food for 1 day but not today. They decided against a feeding tube and said Medicare would not cover nutritional infusion. I'm trying to stay positive but I'm having a hard time today. Elaine
