Bowel Obstruction
A bowel obstruction may block the intestines. As a result, it is impossible or harder for food and other particles to pass through. This would result in trouble absorbing food, digestive issues, constipation, and intense pain in the abdomen. In addition, people with a bowel obstruction can have some other signs, such as intense cramping, inability to have bowel movements, swelling in the stomach, or vomiting bile. This is a medical emergency that can cause a serious infection in the bowel. Pain relievers, fluids, and surgery can help. [4]
