stricture -

I spoke with my surgeon and her nurse practitioner today and they are both suspicious that I have a stricture.  At first I was scared and didn't want that to be what is wrong with me but now I almost hope that's what it is so I can get it taken care of and feel normal gain!  It's good to know that the discomfort I feel after eating (which I thought was just what I was eating) is not normal and I will not have to deal with it for the rest of my life!

For now I'm to take small bites and chew really really well and let the office know by Tuesday if I continue to have problems.

Good luck Kristina.  While sometimes we are scared to find out what is wrong.  We know deep down that if we know what is wrong, it can be fixed.  Best wishes.  Kathy

I wish you well.  I think I may have a stricture problem also. I am going to the Dr tomorrow and we will make a decision to see if I am going to get scoped. Mostly everything I eat comes right back up and it hurts.

I think it would be almost a relief to find out that it's a stricture. Sounds weird but at least that's something that can be fixed easy enough..... just a pain in the ass in the meantime!

Good luck and keep us posted!!

So far today everything has gone down fine - even had some white chicken chili for lunch.  Hmmm...

Sounds like GREAT news to me!!
