Teri, I think you need to try both diets and see which one works for you. Low fiber is better as your intesines don't have to work so hard but then you need that roughage for b.m.'s. High fiber can make your bowels move a lot and then you have pain because they are attached to other things. I hurt if I don't go to the bathroom regularly, but it kills me to go too. So, try both.

4 years ago I had an hysterectomy leaving only my ovaries. In April of 08 i had my first attack wher i was hospitalixed with a small bowel obstruction for which doctors said was due to my hysterectomy surgery. Dec 18 08 I was again hospitalized for 1 week for the same thing. I had the Ng tube in my nose and throat both times.

i am extremely grateful to God that my intestine unblocked itself andI did not have to have surgery. i am so against another surgery, because I knowthat only creates more surgey. I have been searching the internet for a solution of what I am doing wrong to cause the adhesions to atttach to my intestines. Some web sites say I should be on a high fiber diet and some say that i should be on a low fiber diet. Please give me some guidance and insight on how to head off another attack.

Thank you Teri Mickle
