Preventing Small Intestine Scar Tissue Blockage - Need Advice!

Topic Explanation
The forum topic is about seeking advice to prevent small intestine scar tissue blockage in a friend with a colostomy who is experiencing bad episodes of blockage. The friend was diagnosed with scar tissue and was advised that nothing could be done about it. The poster is seeking suggestions to prevent blockage or any surgical solutions.

Advice and Insights
- Physical therapy and massage can help break adhesions and improve range of motion.
- Consider asking the doctor about visceral manipulation or Active Release Technique (ART) for deep tissue massage.
- Research and inquire about the possibility of using stents in the small intestine to prevent blockages.
- Magnesium alloy biodegradable stents are being developed as a potential solution.
- Stenting can be used to relieve symptoms caused by blockages in the gullet or bowel, and to protect fistulas from the contents of the intestines.
- Scar tissue from previous surgeries can lead to blockages and may require surgery, but diet control and nutritionist consultation can also be helpful.
- Multiple surgeries can increase the risk of developing scar tissue and subsequent blockages.

Conclusion
The forum discussion provided valuable insights and suggestions for managing small intestine scar tissue blockage, including the potential use of stents, physical therapy, and diet control.
