I just had surgery for an extensive amount of adhesions July 28, 2004
and yes my IBS was much worse before. I have in the last year lost
45-50 lbs I never did think to connect that to my adhesions. I didn't
eat well either though I was not diagnosed until my surgery date, the
doctor was very surprised to find adhesions. I think if I had known
what was in there it would have made me feel like you do. Have you
tried eating lots of fruit & small meals? It helped me (still does). I
also drank lots of water. I feel for you It feels terrible to have this
stuff going on inside you. Since the sugery though things have been so
much better. There is hope. I hope any of this was helpful. Dee
