Hi all,
I haven't posted for a while. I have just been busy at work and trying to manage my symptons. I am the woman whose strictures seemed to have disappeared. Well, saw my surgeon who is lovely. He said that while my symptons indicate obstructions in my CT and barium follow throw there was no evidence of upstream dilation. He also mentioned the IBS which I know I have. We agreed no surgical intervention as there were no obvious signs of the strictures being an issue. So at the moment I am on pain management, reduced to wearing incontinence pants (after throwing three sets of sheets away), and low fibre. I presume what he means is that there is no actual evidence that my symptons are caused by the strictures and therefore my pain is IBS. I am contemplating going on liquids only for a while. I wondered if anyone had any advice.
