Kris,
How did you know you have a partial obstruction? I was never told a dr
can feel adhesions, I have had a very heavy feeling getting worse along
with pain constricting pain all over my pelvis, and I would give
ANYTHING if my dr could tell me he he could feel them. I only can tell
you all I have been tld is DRINK DRINK DRINK water! That is one thing I
do not do, but with this heat wave I AM drinking alot more, but no
difference in the bowels. I took alot of senna tonight I am leaving for
vacation Sunday, and do not want this to ruin our vacation, celebrating
our 20th wedding anniversary! Hope to get cleaned out!!
