I can not express enough on how impressed I am upon reading this message. At this present time I am printing it so that I can get more information. I just spent 5 days in the hospital and had a million dollar work up. The doctors all agree that I have some severe problems but they can't figure out how to fix me. Due to the adhesions, I ended up having a bleeding ulcer, a loop of bowel wrapped around part of my stomach and also now my gallbladder is not functioning properly. I am seriously afraid to eat any kind of meat, raw veggies or even raw fruit. Back in January 2004 I had what is called Myofascial Release Therapy. It seemed to help for awhile but unfortunately I was still unable to digest certain foods. I was sent to the University of Michigan to be seen by a GI. I am getting ready to have 3 more "weird" tests done. But he has me drinking three glasses of Miralax a day and said I should probably drink bowel prep (like when getting ready for a colonoscopy) at least once a month. YUCK!! But at this point I am willing to do what ever it takes to be pain free. The problems I have are affecting my work life and sometime even my personal life with my husband (due to pain). I have done extensive research on what adhesions can do to a body and the causes. I plan to find out more on the Clear Passage Therapy and pray that I can find the way to get the help that I know I need. Thanks for letting me vent and for the information.
