Adhesions: These may well be adhesions that periodically pinch off the intestines causing sharp pains. Unfortunately no tests can demonstrate intraabdominal adhesions themselves, but when they cause intestinal obstruction, studies can show distended intestines when they are blocked. When you're having attacks that don't quickly resolve, get examined by an abdominal surgeon who make the diagnosis and ?operate
