For the past 2 weeks I have been dealing with severe abdominal distention( my normal 27 inch waist is 36 inches!!), off and on upper abdominal pain, bowel movements that go from loose to constipation like back to loose and just plain feeling unlike myself. I've had 8 major abdominal surgeries over the past 15 years and have had 2 bowel obstruction in the past year. I had a CT scan two weeks ago which showed no obstruction but some "tethering" around my colon. Yet I'm still experincing these symptoms two weeks later... My PC is going have me see a GI and thinks I should have a Colonoscopy. I'm wondering if this all could be caused by Adhesion's? Are adhesions visable on CT scans? Does anyone else have any ideas???
