Did anyone else's stricture feel like a giant hard lump sitting in you abdomen at all times? Sometimes it feels like it's being twisted and squeezed? Is this normal?

    I have had a number of resections and strictoplasties and I can feel areas where the strictures feel like golf balls inside me.

    I have found that if I have a larger meal they get painful so now I eat smaller meals and avoid fibre to reduce the risk of bowel obstructions.

    Good luck
