Ya, I misunderstood, read it too quickly thinking it's only been a week or so. My bad. I have never experienced blockage, nor the feeling or something traveling throughout my small intestine. I consider myself lucky that way. Knock wood, I am living fairly easy. You really have to chew food and keep up water intake, I was told. And I do eat a lot of soft foods, which produce semi-solid output. I am about 3 years into my ileo. I am concerned about what you feel moving that might be gas, but you say you actually feel like it's food. That is very bizarre. Geez, what were the previous blockages? How did you get out of that situation? To me, a blockage would likely result in, say, a corn kernel not being chewed, or broccoli, or hard stem fruit/veggies, popcorn, even gummy bears might do it for me. I don't know. I stay away from the "don't do" foods because I simply don't experiment when things are going well for me. I guess a blockage is like being constipated, hard food getting stuck. Hmm. Let us know what the doctor says. Interesting thread. Thanks for sharing. Warrior
