Dear Angela: Sounds very familiar to my own experience. And I do feel
for you. I am in the midst of trying to get help for my own
adhesion/bowel problems at the time and it's hard to get anyone to
believe you. I wish I had some advice, but I don't. In fact, if anyone
out there knows any good words of wisdom, pass them on to Angela and me,
as well. Take care, Gloria
