Scar tissue

As I have posted before I have a long segment of intestinal scar tissue.  The doctor told me that 3 years ago and I asked if I could hold off on the surgery.  I did have a small bowel resection in 2003.

I don't have a lot of pain atleast not like I did before my surgery.

However, I do have a lot of discomfort and having a lot of gastric symptoms, nauseau, cramping and bloating, acid back up and flat stools, etc.  But then again they were like this before my surgery and remain after the surgery but maybe more so now.  I am thinking the scar tissue is getting worse but does this sound like scar tissue symptoms? 

Since last fall my symptoms are increasing.  I guess I will have to make an appointment in the next month or so and have the doctor check it out

Still on a maintenance dose of prednisone but they are working on trying to get me off. I've been on it for years. Can someone tell me how the scar tissue got there if it wasn't inflamed at one time?

No I haven't tried the gluten free diet. Too bad it can't help dissolve scar tissue so I wouldn't have to have surgery to get more intestine removed.

I've been on prednisone for way too long. The rhematologist thinks my adrenal gland fell asleep so put me on a maintanance dose of 5 mg. This past fall I tried weaning to 3/4 of 5 mg and for the last 2 months am on 1/2 of the 5 mg but I have been so sick picking up everything since and wonder if cutting back on the pred has anything to do with it?

Thanks, for the last 3-4 years I've been going back for regular tests. Only this last year I missed because I was feeling pretty much the same and the tests the year before showed no change with the long segment of scar tissue, so I figured I would spare myself some radiation for a few extra months. I realize that I do have to go in soon and have the GI check and do the tests again.
Prednisone has been my only treatment since the resection in 2003. Up till a couple of years ago I was feeling pretty good. The GI said the scar tissue was in the surgical site. How can a long segment be in a surgical site. I have asked the doctor what they mean by a long segment, he says they don't say, it's just on the report as a long segment, so I'm taking that it's from the surgical site up to the patch of crohn's they left behind. Apparently when they did the resection, the patch was up further and they didn't want to remove healthy bowel to get to it so they left it.. I've been on Remicade and 6MP in the past which I didn't do well on either. The doctor took me off. The GI took me off prednisone as well after the surgery but I had terrible unexplainable pain and stiffness. The Rheumy felt it was because I was on long term prednisone and my gland was asleep so he put me back on to 5 mg.
