Hi
Yes, sometimes a restriction of the at the bottom of the stomach.
Treatment can be simply be dilation by endoscopy so speak to the consultant.
I had IL two months ago and after a short spell of reasonable appetite and eating had constipation bad enough to be hospitalised. The answer was all about food choice, portion control, grazing a little at a time, taking plenty of fluids and perhaps a small dose of laxative such as Lactilose prescribed by your GP. Bottom line it’s a learning process with lots of trial and error. Good luck. Tanktank
Meant to say also my mum is not a big eater ... Just seems to take ages to digest the food
