Diet after partial bowel blockage

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.

Hi docm,
What an awful time you must be having after going through all of those things! I can only imagine the discomfort. I have a bad back and I wear a back support daily. It really helps. I purchased it from Miles Kimball. It's called a "posture corrector". You can find it online. It costs about $29 but often they offer a percentage off the amount. I've tried a lot of back supports over the years and this is the best one I"ve found. It really works. You can feel the difference once you put it on. It's machine washable too, which is nice.

As far as your food, a good high quality brand of beef with a lot of Omega 3 might be good for you. My husband has lung cancer and after one of his operations I had him eating a lot of filet mignon fixed as a beef roast so it was easy to digest. He recovered so fast that the doctor said he recovered better than some of her younger patients. Allen Brothers is the brand we use and it's wonderful. However, it's also very expensive. So keep that in mind. Allen Brothers has been in business in Chicago since 1893. If they stayed in business that long, they must be doing something right.

Also with your food make sure there are no preservatives in it. Don't eat TV dinners or any meat with sodium nitrate or erythobate. Both are bad for your body! Know where the food comes from. Preferably the USA. It's much better quality.

Good luck and I hope you feel better!
I'll say a prayer for you.
