Welcome @loriel59. I moved your message to this thread so that you can meet @kag13 and @idnas who are dealing with similar issues. I can't imagine living in fear of the next episode.
What type of exercises are you doing?

Hi,
I hold different positions for 2 minutes each (eventually to build up to 10 mins each). Harder than it sounds! I'm supposed to do 1/2 hour 5-7 days a week. This is to build strength/balance and make you more limber.
Basically what the Clear Passage therapy does is to apply hands on, sustained pressure to specific restricted or adhered areas. It's called the Wurn technique. Once you are home, you use massage tools , including a ball, to continue trying to decrease adhesions.
I was supposed to start this a week to 10 days after finishing the therapy on 4/16/16. I was in Europe for 10 days shortly after leaving CP. I started to do them, and then I had the attack on 5/20. I'm just about recovering now on 5/26. Sadly I seem to be one of the only people that obstructed so soon after.
I am also doing elimination diet. Starting with wheat. I am almost 4 weeks into the 6 week test. Next is dairy, then I try eliminating sugar.
I am 5'7 1/2" tall. My "normal weight is around 129-132. I am now 114 lbs. I am not happy.
So, that's my story!
Lori
