Question : I had surgery for perotinitis in 2004. According to the suregon they needed to remove about 13' of intestines due to infection. I am still suffering with pain and have several bowel movements every morning. Is there anything I can do? I've tried a diet of rice and greens and lactobasillas and still no improvement.
