Hi chris, if there was atest to tell this girl that the bowel moved and they know it, I too would love to know how she knows this, they are just guessing that my large coon has probably been pulled down from adhesions, but this is only a guess,I wish I knew. All my drs tell me all of them is sine the adhesios on my large and small intestines are so thick, this makes them feel this way. and the bowel has definitely slowed down alot lately,I am working on moving them today.

So the pain is worse today. Saturday I had a ;axative frida night, and drank a ton of prune juice, and finally that evening I told my husband the pain was so bad from not going so long, I had him get me fleetenema, I needed relief!

take care. toni

hi kristy,
I have not been able to find the adhesions forum, nd have been off , computerdied, and now we are on web tv.

I am having alot of trouble with the bowels, and now they say i have become very high risk to obstruct, and I am trying to forgt about it, but it is real worry, itis getting harder to go, and they say it is VERy important for me to go everyday, I cannot even getout of the house early.

i am now on 900 mgs of neurotin, and oxycontin, which seems to help SOME!

My new address is welsh1@webtv.net hope you can email me this web tv is NEW to me, have to figure it out, now I cannot find any of my friends!
