If that effected bowel can effect the absorbtion of pain medcaitons like MS Contin or Oral Ordine?
Which I am on due to Chronic pain for a chronic sinus problem and very painfull inflmatory Arthrtis effecting my left pelvic and lower back.
I also have adhesions of course due to the surgeies. I know very well what food and vitamins cannot be absorb, e.g B12, Iron etc. Thanks Phil -

There would be sufficient small bowel left to compensate and absorb the medication. If there has been little to no response to treatment, this should be discussed with the doctor.
