I have never heard of a pseudo-obstruction. Although an obstruction

did enter my mind but thing are still moving ok. I had also thought

of an intestinal twisting, I forget what that is called. You are

right tho, when they cut you open and manimpulate your bowell they

really cant put it back exactly where it all came from and with each

surgery it increases the risks of probs down the road.

It still has me fairly sore and I am worried about that tho. I do

get queasy after I eat a meal, but had some reglan lying around so

have been taking that. I am trying not to think about it too much.

I see the doc on Wed and I already had asked him about it when it

happened and he said it would get better. I'll talk withhim about it

at the appt see what he has to say.

I dont want to go back on any narcs but I am in pain, tough

decision. I already had withdrawel from the oxy and it was not

pleasant at all. I was only on it for 8 weeks too and it really

wiped me out to withdrawel, I was sick. I was on demerol for 14

months and had less intense reaction when I stopped it. Oh well such

is life right.

Talk soon hon and thanks for the input.

Hi, I have cyctic fibrosis with my CP and we do get what are called

pseudo-obstructions. They are caused from large distentions of the bowel

, like mine from a megacolon. The stool just lays there and can not move

and the mucous collects and causes fermentation and obstructs. I have

had to have a gastro graphin enema in radiology to relieve the terrible

pain. And when I get them i usually get a CP attack. Lovely, just what

you always wanted. But at 51 and having learned to live with it is all

you can do. Mine is directly related to what I eat. Sugar, caffeine,

chocolate, and anything fat sets it off. I am almost on a fat free diet

totally. Just a bit of info. Pain free to all. Deb
