For the last 5 or 6 days I've had some slight pain and discomfort. I've been trying to eat a little better since then but it doesn't seem to have done much. Going to try a very light diet for the next day or two and hope it helps. It's been less than 2 years since my resection, I hope this isn't the beginning of more to come sad

So sorry you aren't feeling so well right now. I think lightening up on your diet might be a good idea. They said doing a liquid diet for a few days can work to quiet things down quickly. Hope it works for you.

But don't let it go on too long, if it doesn't improve or gets worse, do call your doc. Hugs!

I forgot to add that I've been a little constipated the last few days. I don't know if the pain is causing it or if it is causing the pain.

If you have any inflamation in that area with narrowing, it could be the stool pushing at the site and trying to get through. I have this type of pain prior to my stricture removal -- not saying you need more surgery of course. Just that if there is swelling from inflamation that could be what is causing your pain. Can you try soft food and nutrition drinks for a few days? It might help calm things down.

Yeah, that's my plan. Had applesauce for dinner, haha.

Still having a bit of discomfort and pain. Called my doctor, who is out of the country, so I called the university and talked to the doctor on call there, said to keep on and if it doesn't get better that I'll probably need a MRE and colonoscopy, since it's been a while since someone has had a look. Man, I hope this goes away, I enjoy those tests much.

Just got back from the ER. They did an MRE and aside from some expected scar tissue from surgery, everything looked good. I've had some 'normal' foods tonight and will see what happens.
