Hello everyone. I had a bowel obstruction nine years ago because of malrotation of the intestines, which required Ladd's band surgery. It is, esentially, a birth defect (undetected until my late 50's). I have been hospitalized four times since then, not requiring surgery. But oh, the pain! And the ng tube! I just got out of the hospital five days ago and am now afraid to eat anything other than jello, hard boiled eggs, cream of wheat and Ensure - in very small amounts at a time. Has anyone else experienced malrotation, and if so, how are you doing? I am afraid this is going to be a lifelong struggle.
