Since I was the guy who started this thread I thought I would give some answers to the questions I posed. I saw my doctor last week. She does not believe my symptoms (stomach cramps, vomiting) are caused by a hernia. These symptoms are common, however, for mechanical small bowel obstruction from any cause. If a hernia is obstructing the bowel it could cause the same symptoms.

She also noted that there are a couple of other conditions that could cause this but adhesions is by far the most statistically likely.

I have concluded that the funny feeling in my gut mentioned in the Subject is the result of food working its way through. This is a "tugging" or "pulling" sensation. It is distinct from the cramps. It is not painful.

Unfortunately I have had very mild cramps the past couple days. I am scheduled for laproscopic adhesiolysis on June 8. I hope I make it that far.

For those who are interested both my colonoscopy and an ultra sound showed no problems. I am also off the prednisone.
