Until doctors learn to see internal hernias, long before their obstruction, all treatment options for this type of pathology will be reduced to wait-and-see tactics - we wait for obstruction and only then operate - at the last moment, when the patient’s life is in danger. Well, it seems like we’ll save you from inevitable death.

I had a bowel obstruction had surgery after got sepsis with 106.9 body temp, I died and was brought back and spent the next 3 weeks in hospital my body weight leaving hospital 109 lbs and I’m 5’10” had to learn to eat solid food again. 😎

[@Black_Numba1]

Damn bro I died too and brought back years later end up with bowel obstruction, I believe the best solution for it is fasting and prayer

[@JohnAdams-rm7zm]

@@Black_Numba1 I agree with fasting 👍🏻

[@lindawitherington896]

I believe in prayer as well as fasting, Because if anyone is caring and or looking out for you, it’s God!

My obstruction is from a ruptured appendix when I was 8, then magically when I was 51 the scar tissue tied around my intestine and strangled it.

Stomach or intestine problems are awful. Especially something serious like an obstruction. You’ll know how important your stomach and intestines are to your health when you experience a problem that’s for sure.

[@user-to3uj4dp5d]

very nice thank you

[@sergeyshchurko9541]

Hernias can occur in any part of the gastrointestinal tract. The fact that radiologists do not see them does not indicate which types of obstructions, and in which parts of the gastrointestinal tract, are most common. Internal hernias are still the most poorly studied pathology, which actually occurs quite often.

I had an Intussusception of my dujunol area. Just one night and it corrected itself while I stayed at hospital. Nothing seen from camera pill to follow or a procedure involving a camera blowing up intestines to see if there was anything causing it. But fur last few years I’ll get out the teeny feelings there, like slight pains. Once in a while. I also deal with constant constipation.

[@incahealer4350]

A month ago I was diagnosed with a colon that was twisted over a fallopian tube They put me on a low fibre low residue diet.Volvulus. I am now waiting for a decision on what they are going to do if anything. Stool softeners ...gas pills...& discomfort. Dehydration andlow energy describe the current situation .When I was hospitalized for 4 days I was on liquids until the last day given one solid meal before release. I'm 77 years old.

[@franciscomurrietagaray9810]

Hello, it is possible to have an intestinal obstruction due to having ingested activated charcoal.?

[@-LulMrsSierra.Santillana]

What happens when you can seem to have a successful colonoscopy? I’ve been in crucial pain for 2 years, at one point I went almost a month without a bowel movement. Pretty sure I almost died due to poisoning of the blood

[@blackandwhitecrystal2674]

If the patient is bloated and has a peg tube, would a NG tube be an option to release the air/gas in the gut? I feel like giving the tube feed, will cause harm but im unsure if the tube feed is needed for motility

[@turyahikayosaviour5597]

Thanks

[@chande256]

I know I had an intestinal obstruction at age 14 a bypass was done n was very fine till 2014...then another obstruction operated on in 2016(adhesions) Since then I've faced malnutrition due to poor absorption. The weight gain just doesn't occur since 2016. A recent barium meal indicated a deformed duodenum.. The stool out put is almost equal to the amount of food eaten. This surgeon says it was an effect from the first surgery and a corrective surgery must be done. Now I wonder daily why everything was just fine for 8years, but everything went wrong with absorption after removing adhesions.

My daughter suffers from Chronic Intestinal Pseudo Obstruction. She also had emergency surgery for a twisted spleen and gastric volvulus. Then obstruction caused by adhesions.

[@TheEyeballor]

Is there a know standard size NG tube used (or recommended size)?

[@mickypoole9226]

Mid gut Malrotation . While rare it is still a cause of volvulus or obstruction or partial obstruction

[@JohnDoe-gh8sk]

Been in the hospital for 3 days that NG Tube was the worst

[@vosgressukhoi]

Yea

[@Sophiabunnz]

How are you ? How did they go by making you better ? My husband has a small intestine bowel obstruction at the moment he is in a ng tube for 4 days already , he can’t stand it no more . But in his case he has stomach cancer stage 4 . So surgery is out the question

[@JohnDoe-gh8sk]

@@Sophiabunnz they gave me a lot of pain meds and the ng tube helped clear my bowels, but the worst part was having to adapt to the ng tube like eating and drinking, sometimes ill randomly gag

[@TaylorHaubrich]

What test does one use to determine a bowel obstruction. If a patient has had two clean CT scans and continues to complain of pain behind the bottom section of their bellybutton? Says it is exacerbated by physical activity.

[@liminal3084]

Hi guys. I’ve woken up with gut pain and lots of noises coming from my gut. I have a big history with constipation. But never anything like this. It has been a few days since my last shit. But this is usual with me. And naturally I don’t feel the need to take on for a little while…

[@ceejayandyt]

If this disease was at peaks means do they operate like we have to maintain those intestines outside our body?
