There’s nothing they’ll do for the adhesions until life threatening so I stay on a liquid diet. 90% of my intestines have formed into 1 large mass and I get blocked easily now. Had only had gall bladder and appendix surgery both done laparoscopic and the body sends in scar tissue to heal. My body has overdone it and the only help would be to try and cut all the adhesions but multiple docs feel that it is far too dangerous and the adhesions would comeback worse. The pictures of my insides actually look like someone put stitches in attaching everything together.

Oh my gosh ! That’s terrible for you .
Can you do any soft foods at all or just liquid?
A friend of mine had gastric sleeve surgery years ago . Lost 100 lbs but then got very sick . Had to remove his stomach and attach esophagus to his intestines somehow . He is doing much better now and no colostomy bag at all .
These digestive issues are so complicated. People just don’t understand. Praying 🙏 for you .
