Hi I don't know about this but I am a smoker & have a gut full of adhesions. Have had several surgeries (hernia & otherwise) & all my organs are bound together by adhesions. Some days am so miserable. Can't stand for very long, can't sit for very long & can't even lay down for very long. Stomach looks like I'm carrying triplets or more but at 67, this is not the case.
