Colon restriction due to adhesions

My mother who is in her late 80's had sugery three years ago to repair a perforated intestine that went un-diagnosed for seven days. In the last two years she has severely bloated nine times (looks nine months PG).

Then only way she has been able to relieve herself is to gag and throw up. A CT scan recently revealed a mass in her ascending colon. A scope was ordered and no tumors were found. The doctor did experience problems getting the scope through a restriction in the colon about 25-30cm in. The doctor is saying that this restriction is caused by adhesions and is causing the bloating. He has put her on a stool softener to help the stool move through this area. He does not recommend surgery.

Any thoughts?
