Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | obstructed bowel/IBS/Scar Tissue

I am hoping to find help. I just recently had a very bad attack. First one happended about 2-3 yrs ago. I was out of town helping my daughter move from one location to another location (in California). I was on my last day there and I was scheduled to leave the next day on a Very early AM flight.

The day before I had my attach and the day of my stomach was Very bloated and I was very uncomfortable and was having pains, not real bad (during the day). It was time to go to bed started getting more bloated and in pain. Then I felt like I was going to get sick (throw up) (sorry), then I started to feel like I was going to pass out, I had to yell for my daughter and she came running out of her room and I was on the couch Very sick, my hands started to tingle and get deformed. I told her to call 911, I started throwing up and I was a mess. They take me to the hospital, I'm a nervous wreck because I'm sick and in a place very unfamiliar to me and my doctor is not around. After a CT scan and stomach x-ray, they come out and tell me that I had an obstructed bowel and they were going to put a tube down my nose! I thought I was going to die. That sent my stress level Very high. They told me they were going to admit me to the hospital. Once I got admitted they hooked me up with antibiotics and the potassium. They didn't need to put the tube down my nose. I got out day 1/2 later. I didn't fly home, my husband and I drove all the way home from CA to Ill. (I was worried about getting sick on a plane)

So now my question. Is anyone else dealing with Scar tissue/IBS/ and this stupid obstructed bowel issue?

Any help or advise I would greatly appreciate. I don't even want to eat now. I don't want to go through this ever again.

Help!
