Hi I am writing as a concerned boyfriend, my girlfriend had an appendicitis that leaked causing peritonitis. She had a laparoscopy to remove her appendix and developed a full bowel obstruction 1 week later. She had an emergency laparotomy because of an increase in white blood cell count and a fever. 1 week later she had a partial small bowel obstruction. Thank God she did not require another surgery, she was already so weak and had not eaten in 3 weeks. That was 6 months ago, and now she has all the symptoms of Irritable bowel syndrome. She gets distended or bloated almost everyday, and I don't know what to do for her. I think she has adhesions in her small bowel that sometimes constrict her bowels making her distended and irritating her bowel. I will do ANYTHING!!! to make her better please help me.
