My CT scan--need a second opinion

Is this normal to have that much gas?  Could this be a partial bowel obstruction from adhesions?  I have had a prior abdominal surgery.

I am not very good at reading CT scans but in general, gas on it's own is not a big deal.  I can read X-rays a lot better, so if you had a copy of one of your x-rays I could probably read that better.  The doctor will usually tell you if you have a partial bowel obstruction with a CT scan.  Have you been passing stool or gas?

I have been passing stool and gas but in fits.  About an hour or two after I eat, I get lower abnominal pain that will persist even after a bowel movement.  Most days though, I don't have a bowel movement.  I will go a whole week sometimes without a bowel movement.  Even taking fiber doesn't help.  Then when i do go, I will go 3 or 4 times in one day.

I can never eat a large meal because it will hurt me.

The same thing applies with what I said in your other post.  You need to not read your own CT scan and you need to let a doctor or radiologist read it and tell you what they think it is.
