Diet after partial bowel blockage

I had 3 bowel obstructions requiring hospitalization from April to September. Have had several tests such as colonoscopy, CT Enterography, normal CT scans, and exploratory surgery after the 2nd obstruction. They (GI Specialists) cannot find out what the cause is. They wanted to have me swallow the camera pill but it was too big for me to swallow. They now have me on 2 new prescriptions. The second one makes me feel naucious several times a week. I lost 20 pounds since March but am now ok with my weight staying where it is. I was drinking Ensure pretty well every day until my weight stabilized. One thing I do not eat is popcorn and most nuts. Otherwise, the doctors said to eat whatever I want (as they don't know what is causing this). My dinner meals are definitely smaller. I find that any alcoholic drinks make me not feel well so have cut down a on those. My husband and I are avid travellers but since this started I have had to cancel 3 trips. The last visit to the GI specialist he told me they are "frustrated". Wish they could do more for me but even hard for me to get a follow up appointment as they are so busy.

My husband was diagnosed with Crohn's disease. He has now been doing a infusion every 8 weeks of Entyvio. Has not had any blockages for a year. Occasionally he will feel like it might be starting, at that time he will eat well cooked carrots for a couple of days. Then so far he's better.

I feel you I have been through all those tests too they didn't find anything but pre cancerous polyps and removed them I just was discharged from hospital after my first small bowel obstruction! I still have no answers! Very frustrating!

Hi. That’s what I came here to learn about. I have Crohn’s. I just had a really bad flare that put me into the hospital. I need to get on some Crohn’s medicine which I will start Tuesday and as soon as I get the inflammation better they will do surgery to take out the bad part. Mine is the last part of my ilium. I am trying to learn the foods that I can eat and giving up a lot of stuff that I really liked.
