How can I prevent future intestinal obstruction

Health Description
Health Consultation Description: The last two being within 1 yr. The pain I go through is incredible. The surgeons and GI doctors I've spoken to all say that there is nothing I can do to avoid another bowel obstruction. There has got to be something that I can do to help prevent future obstructions. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am so worried that this may happen again... the NG tube is the worst! I need to be proactive to make sure I don't get another one... any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Condition analysis:
Good grief, that's a lot of pain and obstructions. The only suggestions I might have, you've most assuredly heard before. Increase fiber, fruit, lots of water, maybe probiotics. As my father was a surgeon, I learned a long time ago, bowel obstructions are no walk in the park. I hope you find an answer to your problem.
Peace,

Instructions:
1) Drink more water
This allows you to prevent any blockage in your GIT (gastrointestinal tract) and should maintain the proper function and health of your colon. More water in your system allows your blood to carry more oxygen to all the parts of your body. If your GIT is well-supplied with blood, then you can be assured of its proper functioning.
 
2) Increase fiber
This enables you to flush out the toxins out of your body in a more efficient and regular way. Fiber can be obtained from food items like wheat, cereal, oats, rice, leafy vegetables, and fruits. There are also fiber supplements and fiber fortified drinks that may help you get the ideal amount of fiber that you need everyday.
