My mum had a small bowel obstruction caused by adhesions. The surgeon didn’t have to resect the part of her bowel though, but I read that ‘despite the best skills of the finest surgeon, the body creates more bowel adhesions as it heals from the surgery designed to remove them’. Would this happen to her even though the sugeon didn’t resect it?

I am taking her to the Vet tomorrow at 5pm but that is 24 hours , should I take her to emergency vet?

Im 8 1/2 wks pregnant and really havent had good bowels but now Im in a lot more pain because I havent gone in 5 days. When should I go to the doc for this? When does it get serious?

Is it possible for a small bowel obstruction not to be visible on a CT scan? I’ve had 2 Obstruction in less then a year and I’m having the same symptons but the CT scan shows no obstruction. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I’m going to have to have one to be tested for gluten intolerance and I’m scared to death. What’s it like?

My 10 month old Persian Exotic has a touch of blood on his anus or sometimes slight bloody mucous in his litter box after a bowel movement. He has his shots, is very active, very healthy ( definitely NOT underweight), eats normal, drinks water normal.

He does not have loose bowels or hard ( constipated). No straining involved.
Anyone have any ideas what could be the cause?

if I had a small bowel obstruction, or any bowel obstruction for over a month, would I know it? would I be in a lot of pain? what symptoms would I have?

I’m supposed to have an upper GI and small bowel series done in two weeks, but my doctor didn’t really explain the procedure to me. Can anyone tell me what these tests involve?

I had a colonoscopy done and the doctor found an erosion in my small bowel (intestine). They biopsied and it came back normal, but I still have to have a capsule endoscopy done to confirm nothing is wrong. My doctor wasn’t too clear about what an erosion could mean and I can’t find much on the internet….does anyone have any insight?

I’ve been feeling bad for about 3 years and just thought, hmmm what if it’s small bowel cancer?
I’ve had some particularly bad problems in the last 8 months but even then, not something too dramatic…

I had bowel reconstruction after the small intestine was removed and the following year my gallbladder was removed with the results of chronic diarrhea,I do not consume fried foods.fresh fruit and vegetables,greasy foods ,juices or sugary foods becausse they have a laxative effect. My fluids are water and lemonade(weak).I try to stick to it as much as possible.

small bowel which means the bowel has died is this something that happens over a long period of time or come on quickly

The blood I am seeing is in small amounts and is gone once I’ve comlpeted cleaning myself. I’ve seen this several times but not each time I have a bowel movement. Is this a sign of colon issues? Or is this something minor?

Is that possible?Or is it that it would make people not be able to both pass gas and also to not be able to have poo’s.

I’m 13, and every now and then after I have bowel movements and I wipe there is a very small amount of almost bright red blood on the wipe. It doesn’t hurt and I’m not dizzy or sleepy. This doesn’t happen every time I wipe though and I haven’t had any previous medical problems. Its just every now and then and I’m just wondering if I have some horrible disease or something.

This is what her doctors are saying could happen. She has Stage 3 ovarian cancer and has had 2 chemos so far but still has the bowel obstruction…should this reverse it? What other options might they do that they are not telling me? She can’t go home like this! Anybody have experience with this?

i was in the hospital for a week and was told that more than likely i have crohn’s because i have inflammation in the small bowel but after that week they had no answers and really don’t want to go any farther. now i need help to help advocate my own treatment and diagnosis. they gave me steroids and they help while i am taking them but when i stop my pain comes back

She seems to have very little awareness of them, making potty training very difficult. And now she has a very painful, bloody diaper rash! She is extremely strong willed so we have considered that maybe it is behavioral. So we’ve backed off on the potty training. She does have a new baby brother but he’s 5 months old and this problem started about a month ago. Nothing has changed significantly in her diet. Any helpful advice would be appreciated!

I have been really sick and took myself to the ER. The ER doc said that the CT scan shows that I have bowel in my small intestines. I cannot find anything online about it. I was wondering if there is another term for it. The ER doc said he did not know what that meant either.
