Diet after partial bowel blockage

Hi Trec55,
I'm so sorry to hear of your husband's problems with his bowels. I think Catherine's suggestions of mashed potatoes etc. are very good ones. They sound soft on the bowel and yet, nutritous. Your husband also might try mashed bananas for potassium. Yogurt also might be good. It is soft and has the calcium he needs. Providing that he likes those kinds of foods. Cream of wheat is also mild and nutritious. Gatorade will help with balancing his electrolites if he can tolerate it.
Good luck! I'll remember both of you in my prayers.

I am dealing with life after a partial small bowel blockage seven months ago and laparoscopic lysis of some really bad abdominal adhesions two months ago. I agree with all of the dietary recommendations mentioned here. I'm also trying different foods periodically to see how I tolerate them. I have good luck with some and not so good luck with others.

I have a problem with periodic intense lower back pain, apparently from adhesions, and I was wondering if anyone else has this problem and how do you deal with it?

Any advice would be appreciated. All positive thoughts are with you if you're dealing with this horrible situation.
