Meconium Ileus Equivalent with no obstruction???

This probably isn't related at all, but I thought I would just throw it out there in case...
I had MI when I was born, and adhesion surgery at 6 months. I also had adhesion/gallbladder surgery as a teen, and adhesion surgery again in my early 20's. All that to say this <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> - now, whenever I get any kind of stomach upset, stomach virus, food poisoning, etc., I get MI equivalent from an adhesion that somehow manages to block off my gut when the tension from vomiting starts. It goes away when the vomiting stops and I am rehydrated (sometimes this happens in the hospital on IVs). I do have a colic medicine that my clinic gave me, and for the milder upsets, it stops the adhesion from starting the blockage.

Like I said, don't know if that helps, but I thought I would toss it out there <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> . I hope you get some good answers quickly and are home soon.

Usually with meconium equivalent, they try to start out with some sort of laxative or means to get rid of all that poo that's bogged down in the colon. For us Milk of Mag worked, so others some have to try miralax, sometimes go lytely or even enemas.

DS's GI system was a little finicky. If we'd modify his zantac or enzymes even a tiny little bit, it would throw off his system and he'd get constipated, a little urpy, so I'd try to keep track of how often he stooled to give us a warning that he might have issues. As he got older and started eating regular food, he stopped having those sorts of issues, but we still keep an eye on output.
