      Unfortunately, the more surgeries you have, the more likely you will develop adhesions.

    I've been through the worst of it. I've had my bowels ruptured due to incompetence and negligence while having surgery for a totally different issue. Yet, none of the doctors have any ideas on what I should be doing to prevent obstructions. All these surgeries have caused strictures/adhesions.Yet, high fiber is not my friend. I suffer from IBS-C. With all the ruptured bowels and corrective/reversal surgeries, it's a 1000x worse. I have no clue what to do. All the doctors suggested was to live on laxatives for the rest of my life, so I will really have dead bowels and that's not realistic or feasible. Any suggestions ???

      I must preface my response with noting that taking advice from some random person on the internet is not usually the best way for managing your individual medical condition. However, on a general note, it might be worth trying a low residue diet (opposite of high fibre) because it seems that solid food (and fibre) is likely to get stuck in the bowels caught up in adhesions. Let me know how that goes.
      Also, in general, surgery for adhesions just leads to more adhesions later. So if you can avoid surgery, that's probably better. However, if you do get severe pain and bowel obstruction symptoms, there is a risk of getting obstruction and dead bowel, so if that happens you should see your doctor.
      I hope that you get better soon.
