Hello, I'm wondering if anyone can help give me some Information..
When i was 2 i had emergency Surgery for Gangrene Peritonitis, (I am now 29)..
Later in life i started to have severe Bowel problems, Due to Adhesions, resulting in 2 Laparotomies to remove the Adhesions, and numerous Admissions i have been in and out of Hospital for the last 5 years with results to Bowel obstructions due to my Adhesions, I know that the more they operate the worst it will get, i have had Numerous tests, Including colonoscopy's, Baring ect... I have only today come out of Hospital again, Diagnosed with Functional Bowel Obstruction, And they are saying they think i also have a Dysfunctional Bowel.. The Colonoscopy test showed (Normal) But at least 4-5 times a Month my stomach is ectremely Bloated, and i struggle to go Toilet, Even though im on Movicol, Sodium Picosulfate, Lactlose and many other medications. My X-ray showed that i have a functional Bowel Obstruction, the Surgeon hasnt really explained what it is that is happening to me. I am sick of Constantly being Admitted into Hospital, having BG Tubes put it, getting my bowels Moving then sending me home, then a week later im back to the beginning again.My local hospital has said they are sending me to a Professor to deal with this as they dont specialize in this kind of thing.. But i have no information on what is happening to me, this is really taking over my life now, i have a young family & Wife,a nd spend most my days in Hospital, a surgeon suggested a stoma, but again i dont know how this will work. Can anyone please help me by telling me if there is anything i can do to stop this occuring often, and whats a functional Bowel Obstruction, and Dysfunctional Bowel Disease??...
P.S I am still in enormous Pain, and extremely Bloated, and feel full all the time, like i've just had a huge meal. The pain is constantly there now and im really worried.
Kind Regards
