Treatment for bowel obstruction

 Hi 

I have been in and out of the ER for the past months with bowel Obstructions

And the only answer I get is to do surgery, with is a 50% chance to help the problem.

I dont want to do that. So I am asking if some one out there is going through what I am suffering.

So I am looking for a non-surgical bowel obstruction treatment.

Please if some out there can help, know someone .That will be a big gift

please text 510-987-6086.

thanks

Oh, how frustrating and painful. Here are the simpler remedies that may help. Bear in mind I'm NOT a doctor, just a patient, so investigate first.

1) A new doctor who will work with you before you wind up in the emergency room. You need some idea what the underlying problem is.

Consider a research hospital like UCSF or Stanford. The surgeries may be causing more problems than they solve with scar tissue, and some doctors emphasize expensive procedures over simpler, less expensive options.

2) an elimination diet, where you stop eating foods that may be causing problems and slowly re-introduce them.

3) wide-spectrum probiotics

4) Lifeway Keifir

5) a specific probiotic saccharomyces boulardii

Again, I'm not a doctor, so investigate for yourself and proceed with caution.  Good luck!

I would highly recommend the Nutrition group, Replenish PDX.  They are located in Portland OR, and do phone consultations.  They really work to individualize the care, and search carefully for what is the underlying concern that is triggering your problems.  Their first step is always digestion, which will definitely help you.  They also know what is within their scope of practice, and will work with your MD to optimize your care.  I have worked with them on a personal level, I am a Nutrition professional, and am very impressed with their competence and knowledge.   http://www.replenishpdx.com/counseling/
