Question about bowel obstruction
Posted: Fri Feb 09, 2018 3:18 am
I want to ask people who have had small bowel obstruction... How did you know it has cleared? My mom had one almost 4 weeks back. She wasn't vomiting much. But there was nausea vomiting diarrhea. Confirmed on CT scan. After 2 days of bowel rest they started fluid diet n it appeared like the obstruction cleared. She got her chemo and after a day or 2 she was unwell. Vomited twice and diarrhea too. The doctor said it does not look like obstruction. It's chemo related. She has been taking fluids since Monday. No nausea n all. But loose stools. My question is how do u know the obstruction has cleared??
