This is great if this works for you, but a lot of us don't have problems with our intestines, we have adhesions that affect other areas and colonoscopy's won't do anything for this, in fact this is the first time that I have heard of this being done to help adhesions at all.
>From the sound of your explanation, everytime you go
on BC pills you feel better but gain weight. This
doesn't sound like adhesions but possibly ovarian cysts
or endometriosis. Adhesion pain doesn't stop with BC
pill taking. How did your GI doctor diagnosis you with
adhesions? The only way is with a laparoscopy. If
you didn't have that done then you may be having
colonoscopy's for no real reason.

........I finally found a wonderful GI DR who diagnosed me with adhesions. she has decided to try a different approach which is working so far. every six months or so we do a colonoscopy to spread out the intestines and open everthing up to let things flow more freely. this has worked great. I also don't have to worry about new adhesions from numerous surgerys to remove them. thought this might help others. feel free to ask any questions farah rg/forums/
