I’ve just had my 3rd rodeo of SBO and am looking for real food advice to possibly prevent this from reoccurring. Of coarse, this is happening d/t appendectomy surgery in 1983 during my first pregnancy....so what could possibly be worse?! I’m looking for serious food advice please. Thanks in advance!

Low residue diet which is low fiber, no more than 2 grams per serving. No raw veggies, fruits with skins, seeds, no nuts etc. Mayo should have access to a complete low residue diet online. Also I lived on Boost Breeze while I had blockages. I have undergone 5 intestinal surgeries in the past 2 years. I ordered it on Amazon, since you can’t find it in stores. It is clear, and has 9 grams of protein in each box. Very tasty as well.

My most recent was air fried asparagus others have been from green beans, tamales, coconut, oranges, pop corn

Low residue diet. I recently had my 7th bowel obstruction in 3 years. Having lysis of adhesions in 2 weeks. No nuts, seeds, fruit or vegetable skins unless thoroughly cooked. Not very appetizing, but better than an obstruction. I find protein drinks in grocery store. Premier Protein has 30 grams of protein. Good luck.

@carlan52: I am diabetic & a friend recommended Premier Protein drink to me. It is my only luxury… drinking only a couple sips controls any low blood sugar readings… it is my breakfast everyday and adds the 30 gm protein with only 1 gm sugar. I think it is the best product of this type being sold. I love the Chocolate, but there are many flavors. Best…

I have had 3 sbo in the past 3 years. My GI doctors prescribed 2 drugs. Jamp Prucalopride 2mg daily plus Jamp Pyridostigmine 1/3 tablet 3 times a day. Each tablet is 60 mg. I have not had a problem since last October. I also take Restoralax daily.
