@@carlel121 yeah that's a no, it makes gas and if you have a blockage you can't pass gas easily and it can be painful. Sodas are mostly chock full of sugar too.
I was just hours away from having surgery to cut out the blockage but luckily the Dr. who was massaging my stomach for over a week finally got it worked, never been so relieved in all my life
They were the exact foods 4:00 I was eating before my problems started. Now I'm bloated, constipated with heavily distended digestive system. Thanks for your video.
Chronic constipation suffer here. I’ve never had a blockage, but what I’ve found helpful with being bound up is. Low impact exercise at least 15-20min a day, a daily fiber supplement along with adding more fiber in your diet, lots of water like an insane amount of water. I still have issues but doing these things help for sure.
Pears are great for constipation. Have 3 of them on an empty stomach and drink as much warm or room temp water as you want. Don't have any food for 2 hours, only water or hot liquids - Works great!
I do exactly what you do about an obstruction and it does work. I avoid going to the hospital even though it is very painful, i would go through if it didn't clear it's self. Great videos very informative. Thank you.
Please help, it sounds like I have been brewing coffee for 15 minutes straight. It sounds so exact that i had to grab my gut in another room to realize it was not a coffee maker. I had a breif sharp pain to my left mid center stomach but it went away for now. Should I be concerned? I had a baby 15 months ago a d they said my fundus felt like it was leaning to one side and were confused. This was at the University of Chicago. I look bloated but I could be just fat. I will say, my body has changed so much after I had my son. I do t regret him though. He's my 👼.
Hi there! Thanks for your comment. So, agreed, in part - don't drink any carbonated drinks if you're experiencing a total blockage. This is the advice from the United Ostomy Association of America: "If there is stomal output and you are not nauseated or vomiting, only consume liquids such as Coke, sports drinks, or tea." If you have had no stomal output for several hours, stop all intake of food and fluids and seek immediate medical attention. You can find more advice here: www.ostomy.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/IleostomyBlockage_2018.pdf
Not true, carbinated beverages help to mke intestinal output. Also carbonated mineral water helps. I tried it. If i want to empty my bowels i drink 500ml. of carbinated minerals water. In just about 10-15 minutes i feel like some huge gas pressure in my stoma and later get the urge to go make the output.
Do you have any advice please, I've been suffering with bloating, and consequently burping, I only go number two once a month and my doctor has done bacicly nothing, i can never sleep breath properly and have constant nausia! He gave me a strong laxitive that helped a small amount, but not at all anymore!. Please can you help me with some possible solutions I can put to my disinterest doctor, as in a way to get him to act and end my woeful misery! Thank you most sincerely! God's Grace 🙏
A salt water flush has helped me tremendously. Don't take it if you have any plans that day though. Do it on a day where you'll be home all day. Take it first thing in the morning before you eat anything. Full cup of warm water, 2 teaspoons of himalayan pink sea salt, and 2 lemons squeezed. Works like a charm. But drink alot of water afterwards and also replace your electrolytes.
Thank you. I just came out of hospital. A tube was passed through my nose down to my stomach to drain every fluid. Pains are gone now. I really need to work on home therapy to avoid further occurrences.
Nice video, the best tip imo is massaging the area daily and meditation to reduce negative thinking, anxiety, and limiting beliefs. I used to get obstructions monthly (from ruptured appendix surgery I had 10 years ago) been to the er twice both times got an NG tube and waited it out. They suggested a Colostomy so that the damaged intestine could heal since it was so swollen from all the 40 plus episodes I've had since the first surgery. But I refused since I was only 20 years old. I do plan on seeing a doc soon for check up. But every since I've been doing mediation and massage, the episodes have gone down to two a year. Please stay positive, blessings to all.
Samescape .... I see your comment was a year ago! I just wanted to say I have always wore a bag for the urine! But I had 14 surgery after 1956 ya it's not easy and it leaked a lot! Hope you are okay now! Have a good day! 💒⛪⛪⛪🌈
Very informative. I went to ER in ambulance because of this. They put me on IV and just let relax. it took about a week to get it going. Anyway should be careful. Also, I think important is to calm yourself down.
travelvideos I also had to go in an ambulance. Everyone laughed at me. The pain was horrible. I’m often afraid that this will occur again. Hope your well.
@@trishisblessed6819That's horrible I have had a episode of this for the last few months and I was afraid To the Er bc of that I am so nervous about all of this any ideas of what type of magnesium? I would love to know what you take to help Please and thank you
MAGNESIUM CITRATES IN A 10 oz. BOTTLE WHEN THE RUMBLING STARTS, IT'S TIME TO GO. IF YOU HAVE FURTHER OBSTRUCTION, WAIT A DAY, CONSUME A 2nd BOTTLE VERY GOOD, AND TRY TO STAY AWAY FROM COLAS ALL THE TIME, DRINKS GINGER ALE, SAFE AND SETTLES THE STOMACH.....MAKE SURE YOU ARE HOME FOR THE DAY, LIKE ON A WEEKEND.
Blockages after 5 surgeries as a 2 year old. Severe adhesions. Surgery once 30 years ago. I bought an inversion table and invert daily--if it hurts, I massage my abdomen at the same time. Works great.
What works more than anything is water and excersize, some situps, jogging and cardio still the best. lots of water. If it is severe I just saw a remedy, Tablespoon of salt in 3/4 glass of hot water and when mixture cold add the rest with lemon juice. apparently the colon then excretes lots off water and your problem solved.
@@sweethome4175 I did some research, his last video was in 2018 and there is a obituary with a guy with the same name a month later. So.. take that as you will.
Thank you so much. That was a soul crushing experience I hope I never have to go through again. Thank you for your advice - it was spot on. A great big hug to everyone going through this. Especially if it is more than once.
@@DeadCell_XIII Do you mean what caused it, or what symptoms was I experiencing? I have no idea what caused it, if that is what you are asking. Sorry if I'm not being very helpful.
Years ago I had abdominal surgery. At the time the Dr said one of the risks is future intestinal blockages from scar tissue choking the intestines. Fast forward to today, a few days ago I literally felt something inside- around my csection scar- do like a flip flop! Then I had pelvic pain and difficulty going #2. I did a salt water cleanse and drinking tons of water... like 4 quarts during the day. Another thing I did was increase my food intake. I have been dieting, and my heart told me to eat more to maybe push things along and back in place. I also did some yoga poses -including downward dog :) That stretch did feel good! Tonight I’m starting to feel so much better. Has this happened to any of you? Should I be concerned and get checked out?
Now I'm wondering if all my constipation for the past 30 years is because of the 2 laporoscopy's I had. Scar tissue. Hmmmmm. I get constipated after eating greens and some veggies that are supposed to be fiber rich to push food thru!
It's hard to believe when I saw my test results turned negative of HSV2 after using the herbal medications I got from (Dr. Ani John) a great doctor who I came across on RUclips who help people get rid of their sickness thank you so much Sir for your twelve days permanently Healing.❤️..
This is very informative 🤗 I've had bowel obstruction years ago and when the ER physician checked the x-rays the amount of cheese pizza was blocking me from relieving my bowels. I now chew my food very thoroughly. Great video!
Thanks for this video. Just wanted to share my experience...Make sure you get a CT scan and NOT just an ultrasound. In 2020 I had abdominal pain several times for which I went to the emergency room twice and to my doctor a few times. I had at least 3-4 ultrasounds done and they never found anything, but I knew something was wrong. December 20th 2020 the pain came back with full force so went back to ER for the third time, this time they finally did a CT scan after another unsuccessful ultrasound where they finally saw that I had an obstruction. Turns out I had a neuroendocrine tumor in my small bowel. They ended up removing 4cm of my bowel that was damaged by the tumor. I'm still at home recovering now and I don't have cancer which I'm grateful for. Moral of the story. Fucking Ultrasounds are only good for seeing babies... get a CT scan or something better if you have symptoms.
Wow did the severe pain stop and come back? I think thats what you wrote. If so I wonder why because I was told if you have a blockage you would know it
@@jackieland6378 I had mild pain on and off for about a year. One time it lasted like 3 months, but it was mild... When it got more severe that's when I went to the hospital three times. I'm guessing things would start to get clogged but would somehow pass through and then again few months later. Until the tumor had grown enough. But even then, the doctor said after the scan "nothing is getting past this point". But I didn't have any other issue up that point... I went to the toilet and also through up several times throughout the night until I finally realized it wasn't going away and decided to call an ambulance.
@@Gcubed14 how you holding up now bud?? Did you ever experience chest pain with it? I've been to ER twice cause I thought I was having a heart attack but wasn't, but I have issues with my gut and believe something is going on in there like a blockage
Thanks for posting this, I was suffering for 4days until you mentioned what liquids to take and I feel so much better. You are an Angel on RUclips hehe
I'm in hospital for my third sml bowl intensions absutraction. This time they put the tube through my nose. Painful! It is a great video. Next time, I hope I don't need go to emergency again
Had 6 hours of gastric pain continuously, admitted to hospital with people wondering why I'm hyperventilating, underwent surgery as appendicitis, then found out it was tangled of small intestine with adhesion tied around. I didn't know it was that severe which I assume because I'm a dancer with high pain tolerance, that 6 hours was agonizing and enough to validate something serious was going on. Of course after the surgery, there's 7 days of no eating, 11 days of no water, 4 tubes in your body including IV tube to get all the acid out (for 11 days). As a person who had no previous operation, having adhesion tied around the intestine was a rare case, all I can say is to control your emotions, because that's the only fault I can find in my case.
It has been my experience to strictly avoid carbonated beverages at all times, but especially during a blockage. This just adds to the pain by introducing gas to the situation. I always drink lots of tea, be it hot or iced. Tea is a diuretic and softens the stool and helps things run smoothly. And FYI, if you want to clean your system and pouch out, have bacon, eggs, and a big cup of nice hot tea. You’ll have two, nice, mostly liquid bagfuls over the next hour, and you’ll be good to go until after your next meal.
@@zero_hour_z The whole point is to avoid a blockage, I eat things to make a watery stool. Cheese for instance, I really have to eat that in moderation. And thick breads are also too be avoided..I only eat thin, sliced Pano bread from the bakery. And tea keeps everything a little watery and easily passable.
Thank you very much for your information. I just came home from the doctor yesterday. I have an intestinal blockage. She gave me none of this information all she gave me was a prescription for medication which still, as of this morning, has done nothing and I'm still in pain.
I found my best friends a few years ago, they might be a bit older and dried up, and not as plum(p) as some, but they are still great. They are Prunes, a dried plum.
I am 70 YO and I was having a huge problem with this. A year ago I was worried I might die on the toilet. I now mix a small box of bran flakes in with a larger box of my normal cereal which is usually corn flakes. I use a large plastic container to store this combination in. Too much bran, makes me go too readily. I also take 1 Acme Brand (Signature) "Stool softener Plus Stimulant Laxative" pill every day. Those 2 things together have made a huge difference. I hope this helps someone. WRZ 2020-04-10 Delaware County, PA
I've had this problem for over a month. Doc gave me liquid laxative prescription but didn't do much. The bloating and distention everytime I eat is ridiculous. Today I'm getting serious. I'm drinking ebson salt and water and can feel it moving. However so slowly.
This was great, thanks, I been tryin to find out about "how many dulcolax tablets should you take" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Seyilliamit Uncomplicated Solution - (should be on google have a look ) ? It is a smashing one of a kind product for eradicating your constipation issues without the hard work. Ive heard some great things about it and my mate got great success with it.
Thanks......I also had an intestinal blockage and had to have surgery for it. Believe it or not, the recovery was more difficult and painful than having my colon removed(for a j-pouch)..
I ate a mini pretzel whole by accident I was watching a movie on Netflix and then when I swallowed it without chewing the feeling of it going down my throat was very uncomfortable. Shortly after I could literally feel it travel though my intestines. The tip about walking around and moving / massaging the area helped a lot.. about 20 minutes later I felt normal again but geez that feeling is the worst I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy.
Hi lura l amn I am suffering from vomatting loops blockage since last 3 year .even I cannot push back the food to the mouth due to blockage .sometime when I want to vomit food stuck in half of the way in pipe nd feel pain please can you suggest me some remedies or instructions how I can get rid from the diseases .
Can you get a bowl obstruction or block without pain? I have constipation and that’s it. I don’t normally feel hungry but that’s because I just had the gastric sleeve surgery.
My constipation was due to methadone usage. I was severely constipated, I did not go to the bathroom for 17 days!. I tried everything from high fiber, properly hydrated, laxatives etc, etc. The only thing that worked for me was enema. Opiates/opioids will give you extreme constipation.
If you don't mind mind me asking..After your blockage what foods were you eating example.. what did you eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner ?what do you recommend?yeah i just got out the hospital they diagnosed me as having ileus.. yesterday afternoon but im not sure what to eat.lm still feeling symptoms of it ..i would appreciate it 🙏
@@JAYNICOLEE77 I was eating jello drinking chicken broth little bit of oatmeal, two or three eggs for breakfast when I ain't got out the hospital it took 2-3 weeks to ease in little by little with my food and take. Because I still felt symptoms so the first two three weeks I didn't eat much just the stuff I mentioned. So don't rush to eat solid normal food take your time little by little k I hope this is helpful 👍🙌🙏
Good info. I had a small bowel obstruction in small intestine a four days ago. I ate a huge spinach salad with various veggies and a shit ton of nuts like pistachios, almonds and whatever trail mix has in it. I ended my 6 hour eating window (I fast) with a kale smoothie. Started with cramps at around 6pm until 11pm...then went to ER as cramps were relentless. I was in hospital 2 days...They gave me the NG tube after CT Scan and Xrays. I've been trying to eat normal for the last few days and staying away from too much fibre and nuts for sure.
Hi Laura these informations are very useful. Im from Singapore and not many infos I can get from the healthcare here. My daughter had stoma since she was 2 days old with colostomy and we are still learning to care for her eventhough now shes 8 years old with an illestomy. Last year, we had to rush her to ER for intestinal obstruction followed by high fever and dehydration. I now understand the pattern she was in so we try to becareful in what she eat and observe. I would also do a stoma wash out using cathether with warm saline water if she complains of bad stomache. Immediately we can see the output stream out. It does help to relieve her pain after the wash out is done. We try not to send her to the ER as much we do in the past as there is only few pediatric doctors who are experience in handling her case. I hope you can share more in the future for me to understand my childs condition better. Thank you very much for sharing.
Hi. Again. It’s me again, I have discovered that my constipation with slow digestion was due to some kind of potassium deficiency. I knew this from looking at my diet. It seems that taking in more potassium has done job. I did go to doctor but it seems as if the doctor missed this. potassium is important for digestion, bowel function, etc. potassium in the right amount is a natural laxative but one that you need as well. It directly or Indirectly pulls water into the colon to help soften stools. Thats one of the ways potassium helps you relieve yourself in the bathroom. I still get bloated but not severe in the absence of constipation.
@@SajSajidmk . . No pills. Naturally via food. Food is medicine. Make sure your eating healthy fats which are in alot of foods. Fatty meals stimulate natural bowel movements as well.
@Amara V . . .True. too. But everydays circumstances differ. What works for one may not work for the other. And vice versa. Also fats are important for bowel movements. Fatty meals stimulate or cause natural healthy bowel movements.
@Destiny The Queen . . . Most foods have it. Some foods have it more than others and are good sources of it like dairy, meat, fruits, veggies, tubers, and legumes. Just read nutrition labels. An even important or just an important factor in bowel movements is fat . . . dietary fat in this case. Fatty meals stimulate pooping . . .I mean normal bowel movements. No diarrhea. Too much fat particularly in one sitting may cause the opposite of a healthy bowel movement which is diarrhea. Great sources of dietary fats or healthy fats are meat, seafood, dairy, legumes, nuts, etc. These foods are higher in healthy fats than other foods.
I just got out of the hospital today with a small bowel obstruction , it seems to have cleared up it self this time . ( I pray ) . I've had 3 intestinal adhesion surgeries so far , the last one being the worst . The surgeon accidentally cut into my intestines and that caused a very bad infection in my incision . They had to put me on a wound pump for 3 months and it took a year for that infection to finanally clear up and heal . I seriously don't think I can go through anoher adhesion surgery . I get scared every time I get a stomach ache .
Hi there. Ugh, that sounds rough. You may know everything Laura wrote about in this article, but you might find her listed resources helpful: www.shieldhealthcare.com/community/ostomylife/2016/03/16/abdominal-adhesions/
Omg, did you get a lawsuit on that Dr, out of curiosity?? That is terrible! I have had 3 bowel resections, too, and they can't do anymore surgery because it just causes more adhesions and those lovely blockages. My thoughts and sympathies are with you!! 🙏
Thanks for sharing I feel for you There is emotional pain along with physical pain from SBOs and unfortunately more surgeries means more problems down the road Best of luck
The last thing I would do is go to a doctor or hospital. Their ideas about the body are sadistic and brutal and often cause more problems than you started out with. I think the body can do it on its own but to tamper with it like getting surgery is folly. Yes sometimes what doctors do works without problems but way too often there are problems, like over 50% of the time.
My blockages are usually from scar tissue becoming stuck together. It causes excruciating pain and unless I can’t get it unstuck by massaging or hot tea or a hot bath, I have to get to e r as fast as possible. One time it happened so quickly that all I could do was scream and couldn’t even tell 911 operator where lived. Thankfully they could trace me by my phone. When I got to the hospital by ambulance, they put a I v In me- ( never fun since I’m always dehydrated because of Crohn’s)😬 , then had pain medication and nausea medication. I am put into a room and go through tests . The doctor sees where the problem is and last time he came in.. …. and believe it or not 😅 he suddenly took the top of of his pen and did something to my stoma and it erupted!!!!!! I was freaked out - but it worked😂

Hey Laura I'm Gabriel from Namibia. I've had a blockages from time to time. I've been using Laxatives to ease the pressure off the bowels. It works perfectly for me.But Is it recommended though?
Hi there 🙋🏽♀️🙋🏽♀️it is mentioned that over using laxatives cause more damage. Your intestines will rely on that. With me, no laxatives works. I take warm water, and salty water on an empty stomach. It helps a bit.

You are talking about constipation, a blockage can be life threatening and require surgery. If you are sitting calmly drinking tea you don't have a blockage. Pain from said blockage makes eating and drinking excruciating.

*Does Citra Magnesia works? I went to ER.. was all for nothing cuz they still didnt find nothing took Catskan and all.. stomach still going thru pain.. now got a huge bill to pay for nothing*
I had an intestinal blockage but it was more toward or very close to the anus. This is one of the symptoms of ongoing constipation. That can you get bloated as well as a food intolerance or some other cause. I had to strain to poop to which led to blood in stool. I disagree that water or fluids relieve any sort of intestinal blockage. As the body only uses a portion of water to soften stool unless your using a powerful conventional laxative. Sodium alongside potassium does this. sufficent amounts that is. When your dehydrated it means that you have lost electrolytes such as sodium or potassium or other vitamins or nutrients and that you need to replace them. Foods hydrate you . . . not only fruits and vegetables or plant foods. Water doesn’t hydrate you since it mainly helps flush out excessive amounts of sodium or other nutrients through sweat or urine. Gently massaging the abdomen could help as break down stool or whatever into pieces but will not fully eliminate the need to strain to poop but will make straining to poop a little easier which could reduce the severity of pain in your colon/intestinal or colon/intestinal walls when you strain to poop.
Have suffered from constipation daily for 24 years. I have a severely elongated colon and it just doesn't function anymore. Nothing I take helps, even a colonoscopy prep kit does nothing. Doctors to this day won't even acknowledge that I have a problem. I don't eat anymore because it's just too much misery.
My GI dr said many people with chronic constipation have a magnesium deficiency. I have added a supplement and it helps. Doesn’t hurt to ask and try it if they ok.

A salt water flush has helped me tremendously. Don't take it if you have any plans that day though. Do it on a day where you'll be home all day.

But drink alot of water afterwards and also replace your electrolytes.
Does this help you if you feel a blockage coming on or if you are having one?

Poop ...

Helps
To make you poop.
Thank you. I just came out of hospital. A tube was passed through my nose down to my stomach to drain every fluid. Pains are gone now. I really need to work on home therapy to avoid further occurrences.
They tried that but I couldn’t do it
Nice video, the best tip imo is massaging the area daily and meditation to reduce negative thinking, anxiety, and limiting beliefs. I used to get obstructions monthly (from ruptured appendix surgery I had 10 years ago) been to the er twice both times got an NG tube and waited it out. They suggested a Colostomy so that the damaged intestine could heal since it was so swollen from all the 40 plus episodes I've had since the first surgery. But I refused since I was only 20 years old.
I do plan on seeing a doc soon for check up. But every since I've been doing mediation and massage, the episodes have gone down to two a year. Please stay positive, blessings to all.
thank you for this message
Samescape .... I see your comment was a year ago! I just wanted to say I have always wore a bag for the urine! But I had 14 surgery after 1956 ya it's not easy and it leaked a lot! Hope you are okay now! Have a good day! 💒⛪⛪⛪🌈
What exactly do you massage?
I'm with you my appendix ruptured when I was 2 now I'm 53 and it's getting worse thx for the advice good luck!!!
Yes I love this so much!! Meditating for your body and cells to repair themselves is something I have just adopted and I swear it is changing my life
Very informative. I went to ER in ambulance because of this. They put me on IV and just let relax. it took about a week to get it going. Anyway should be careful. Also, I think important is to calm yourself down.
travelvideos I also had to go in an ambulance. Everyone laughed at me. The pain was horrible. I’m often afraid that this will occur again. Hope your well.
@@trishisblessed6819That's horrible
I have had a episode of this for the last few months and I was afraid To the Er bc of that
I am so nervous about all of this any ideas of what type of magnesium?
I would love to know what you take to help
Please and thank you
MAGNESIUM CITRATES IN A 10 oz. BOTTLE WHEN THE RUMBLING STARTS, IT'S TIME TO GO. IF YOU HAVE FURTHER OBSTRUCTION, WAIT A DAY, CONSUME A 2nd BOTTLE VERY GOOD, AND TRY TO STAY AWAY FROM COLAS ALL THE TIME, DRINKS GINGER ALE, SAFE AND SETTLES THE STOMACH.....MAKE SURE YOU ARE HOME FOR THE DAY, LIKE ON A WEEKEND.

What works more than anything is water and excersize, some situps, jogging and cardio still the best. lots of water. If it is severe I just saw a remedy, Tablespoon of salt in 3/4 glass of hot water and when mixture cold add the rest with lemon juice. apparently the colon then excretes lots off water and your problem solved.

I know Laura! She is such an awesome and strong person.
Wait how tho
We met years ago in LA and had lots of time to talk.
Years ago I had abdominal surgery. At the time the Dr said one of the risks is future intestinal blockages from scar tissue choking the intestines. Fast forward to today, a few days ago I literally felt something inside- around my csection scar- do like a flip flop! Then I had pelvic pain and difficulty going #2.
I did a salt water cleanse and drinking tons of water... like 4 quarts during the day. Another thing I did was increase my food intake. I have been dieting, and my heart told me to eat more to maybe push things along and back in place. I also did some yoga poses -including downward dog :) That stretch did feel good!
Tonight I’m starting to feel so much better. Has this happened to any of you? Should I be concerned and get checked out?
Better to always check with the dr. They can do CT
Why wouldn't you!?!
Now I'm wondering if all my constipation for the past 30 years is because of the 2 laporoscopy's I had. Scar tissue.
Hmmmmm. I get constipated after eating greens and some veggies that are supposed to be fiber rich to push food thru!
This video is a lifesaver! I'm having my first blockage and it's...not great. Thank you for this!

This is very informative 🤗
I've had bowel obstruction years ago and when the ER physician checked the x-rays the amount of cheese pizza was blocking me from relieving my bowels. I now chew my food very thoroughly. Great video!
what did they do to treat it?
Chris H yep
How did they get rid of it
Please What was your symptoms? Did you have days not poop ?and haw did you treat it
Love how people ask you questions and you cant respond 3 years later lol
Thanks for this video. Just wanted to share my experience...Make sure you get a CT scan and NOT just an ultrasound. In 2020 I had abdominal pain several times for which I went to the emergency room twice and to my doctor a few times. I had at least 3-4 ultrasounds done and they never found anything, but I knew something was wrong.
December 20th 2020 the pain came back with full force so went back to ER for the third time, this time they finally did a CT scan after another unsuccessful ultrasound where they finally saw that I had an obstruction.
Turns out I had a neuroendocrine tumor in my small bowel. They ended up removing 4cm of my bowel that was damaged by the tumor. I'm still at home recovering now and I don't have cancer which I'm grateful for.
Moral of the story. Fucking Ultrasounds are only good for seeing babies... get a CT scan or something better if you have symptoms.
what other symptoms have you had? i’ve suspected i’ve had something like that for years.
Wow did the severe pain stop and come back? I think thats what you wrote. If so I wonder why because I was told if you have a blockage you would know it
Know that SOMETHING is wrong I mean
@@jackieland6378 I had mild pain on and off for about a year. One time it lasted like 3 months, but it was mild... When it got more severe that's when I went to the hospital three times. I'm guessing things would start to get clogged but would somehow pass through and then again few months later. Until the tumor had grown enough. But even then, the doctor said after the scan "nothing is getting past this point". But I didn't have any other issue up that point... I went to the toilet and also through up several times throughout the night until I finally realized it wasn't going away and decided to call an ambulance.
@@Gcubed14 how you holding up now bud?? Did you ever experience chest pain with it? I've been to ER twice cause I thought I was having a heart attack but wasn't, but I have issues with my gut and believe something is going on in there like a blockage
Thanks for posting this, I was suffering for 4days until you mentioned what liquids to take and I feel so much better. You are an Angel on RUclips hehe
Just skip the carbonated drinks.
Sorry I didn’t see this sooner.. ginger ale is my #1 go to or seltzer water
How did it pass?
I'm in hospital for my third sml bowl intensions absutraction. This time they put the tube through my nose. Painful! It is a great video. Next time, I hope I don't need go to emergency again
Yikes!! I am sorry 😢
Had 6 hours of gastric pain continuously, admitted to hospital with people wondering why I'm hyperventilating, underwent surgery as appendicitis, then found out it was tangled of small intestine with adhesion tied around. I didn't know it was that severe which I assume because I'm a dancer with high pain tolerance, that 6 hours was agonizing and enough to validate something serious was going on. Of course after the surgery, there's 7 days of no eating, 11 days of no water, 4 tubes in your body including IV tube to get all the acid out (for 11 days). As a person who had no previous operation, having adhesion tied around the intestine was a rare case, all I can say is to control your emotions, because that's the only fault I can find in my case.
It has been my experience to strictly avoid carbonated beverages at all times, but especially during a blockage. This just adds to the pain by introducing gas to the situation. I always drink lots of tea, be it hot or iced. Tea is a diuretic and softens the stool and helps things run smoothly. And FYI, if you want to clean your system and pouch out, have bacon, eggs, and a big cup of nice hot tea. You’ll have two, nice, mostly liquid bagfuls over the next hour, and you’ll be good to go until after your next meal.
wait.. how is a diuretic helpful for this? I find coffee to make it worse. Agree on the bacon and eggs part though
@@zero_hour_z The whole point is to avoid a blockage, I eat things to make a watery stool. Cheese for instance, I really have to eat that in moderation. And thick breads are also too be avoided..I only eat thin, sliced Pano bread from the bakery. And tea keeps everything a little watery and easily passable.
@@Lespaul23 ah. Will try it out!
Thank you very much for your information. I just came home from the doctor yesterday. I have an intestinal blockage. She gave me none of this information all she gave me was a prescription for medication which still, as of this morning, has done nothing and I'm still in pain.

Did you get the problem solved??
I think I would find a new doctor.
I got three colonics and took lots of magnesium oxide and stopped all the excess fiber. A lot cheaper than a hospital bill😞

This video was helpful because you gave me hope. I thought for sure there would be no cure and I would die.
I am 70 YO and I was having a huge problem with this. A year ago I was worried I might die on the toilet.
I now mix a small box of bran flakes in with a larger box of my normal cereal which is usually corn flakes.
I use a large plastic container to store this combination in. Too much bran, makes me go too readily.
I also take 1 Acme Brand (Signature) "Stool softener Plus Stimulant Laxative" pill every day.
Those 2 things together have made a huge difference.
I hope this helps someone.

Can you get a bowl obstruction or block without pain? I have constipation and that’s it. I don’t normally feel hungry but that’s because I just had the gastric sleeve surgery.
Drink 1 litre of warm or hot water with lemon or lime every morning, also raw ginger helps
My constipation was due to methadone usage. I was severely constipated, I did not go to the bathroom for 17 days!. I tried everything from high fiber, properly hydrated, laxatives etc, etc. The only thing that worked for me was enema.
Opiates/opioids will give you extreme constipation.

Started with cramps at around 6pm until 11pm...then went to ER as cramps were relentless. I was in hospital 2 days...They gave me the NG tube after CT Scan and Xrays. I've been trying to eat normal for the last few days and staying away from too much fibre and nuts for sure.
smh >< but yet need fiber
Hi Laura these informations are very useful. Im from Singapore and not many infos I can get from the healthcare here. My daughter had stoma since she was 2 days old with colostomy and we are still learning to care for her eventhough now shes 8 years old with an illestomy. Last year, we had to rush her to ER for intestinal obstruction followed by high fever and dehydration. I now understand the pattern she was in so we try to becareful in what she eat and observe. I would also do a stoma wash out using cathether with warm saline water if she complains of bad stomache. Immediately we can see the output stream out. It does help to relieve her pain after the wash out is done. We try not to send her to the ER as much we do in the past as there is only few pediatric doctors who are experience in handling her case. I hope you can share more in the future for me to understand my childs condition better. Thank you very much for sharing.
Hi.
Again. It’s me again, I have discovered that my constipation with slow digestion was due to some kind of potassium deficiency. I knew this from looking at my diet. It seems that taking in more potassium has done job. I did go to doctor but it seems as if the doctor missed this. potassium is important for digestion, bowel function, etc. potassium in the right amount is a natural laxative but one that you need as well. It directly or Indirectly pulls water into the colon to help soften stools. Thats one of the ways potassium helps you relieve yourself in the bathroom. I still get bloated but not severe in the absence of constipation.
is it potassium or magnesium? how do you take it? pills
@@SajSajidmk . .
No pills. Naturally via food. Food is medicine. Make sure your eating healthy fats which are in alot of foods. Fatty meals stimulate natural bowel movements as well.
@Amara V . . .True. too. But everydays circumstances differ. What works for one may not work for the other. And vice versa. Also fats are important for bowel movements. Fatty meals stimulate or cause natural healthy bowel movements.
@Destiny The Queen . . .
Most foods have it. Some foods have it more than others and are good sources of it like dairy, meat, fruits, veggies, tubers, and legumes. Just read nutrition labels.
An even important or just an important factor in bowel movements is fat . . .
dietary fat in this case.
Fatty meals stimulate pooping . . .I mean normal bowel movements. No diarrhea.
Too much fat particularly in one sitting may cause the opposite of a healthy bowel movement which is diarrhea.
Great sources of dietary fats or healthy fats are meat, seafood, dairy, legumes, nuts, etc. These foods are higher in healthy fats than other foods.
I had no idea!!! Thank you for sharing
Can narrow/thin stools be a sign of impaction?
From what I have read, yes.
I just got out of the hospital today with a small bowel obstruction , it seems to have cleared up it self this time . ( I pray ) . I've had 3 intestinal adhesion surgeries so far , the last one being the worst . The surgeon accidentally cut into my intestines and that caused a very bad infection in my incision . They had to put me on a wound pump for 3 months and it took a year for that infection to finanally clear up and heal . I seriously don't think I can go through anoher adhesion surgery . I get scared every time I get a stomach ache .

Omg, did you get a lawsuit on that Dr, out of curiosity?? That is terrible! I have had 3 bowel resections, too, and they can't do anymore surgery because it just causes more adhesions and those lovely blockages. My thoughts and sympathies are with you!! 🙏
Thanks for sharing I feel for you There is emotional pain along with physical pain from SBOs and unfortunately more surgeries means more problems down the road Best of luck
Hope u sued. That’s medical malpractice and life threatening.
The last thing I would do is go to a doctor or hospital. Their ideas about the body are sadistic and brutal and often cause more problems than you started out with. I think the body can do it on its own but to tamper with it like getting surgery is folly. Yes sometimes what doctors do works without problems but way too often there are problems, like over 50% of the time.
My blockages are usually from scar tissue becoming stuck together.
It causes excruciating pain and unless I can’t get it unstuck by massaging or hot tea or a hot bath, I have to get to e r as fast as possible.
One time it happened so quickly that all I could do was scream and couldn’t even tell 911 operator where lived.
Thankfully they could trace me by my phone.
When I got to the hospital by ambulance, they put a I v

My dad at 86 yrs had a blockage after surgety to insert a feed tube in his stomach. Within 48 hrs he complained of pain. Apparently his small intestine got a blockage or twisted or collapsed. Yes 3 different words used by surgeon, doctor, nurses. At 86 they said his chances surviving an op were only 45% and strongly suggested palliative care. He died in November and we are still grieving for our and his loss. Something doesn't feel right.
I saw the doctor cause I was having stomach pain and bloating for like a week or so I only went too the bathroom about 2 times a just not what I usually do and it wasn’t a lot so I went and they said there’s alot of stool but didn’t say there’s an obstruction which is good they gave me stuff too take I hope it helps

Big question... did you ever start throwing up?
It was very gelpful. Thank u pretty lady
You are talking about constipation, a blockage can be life threatening and require surgery. If you are sitting calmly drinking tea you don't have a blockage. Pain from said blockage makes eating and drinking excruciating.
These are very valuable and precisely practical suggestions which definitely help to ease constipation issues.

*Does Citra Magnesia works? I went to ER.. was all for nothing cuz they still didnt find nothing took Catskan and all.. stomach still going thru pain.. now got a huge bill to pay for nothing*
They didn’t do a cat scan on you?
I had an intestinal blockage but it was more toward or very close to the anus. This is one of the symptoms of ongoing constipation. That can you get bloated as well as a food intolerance or some other cause. I had to strain to poop to which led to blood in stool. I disagree that water or fluids relieve any sort of intestinal blockage. As the body only uses a portion of water to soften stool unless your using a powerful conventional laxative. Sodium alongside potassium does this. sufficent amounts that is. When your dehydrated it means that you have lost electrolytes such as sodium or potassium or other vitamins or nutrients and that you need to replace them.
Foods hydrate you . . . not only fruits and vegetables or plant foods. Water doesn’t hydrate you since it mainly helps flush out excessive amounts of sodium or other nutrients through sweat or urine. Gently massaging the abdomen could help as break down stool or whatever into pieces but will not fully eliminate the need to strain to poop but will make straining to poop a little easier which could reduce the severity of pain in your colon/intestinal or colon/intestinal walls when you strain to poop.
What do you recommend as the best solution for intestinal blockage?
Any thing u can suggest for intestine blockage like you had
Very informative video
Thank you so much

Have suffered from constipation daily for 24 years. I have a severely elongated colon and it just doesn't function anymore. Nothing I take helps, even a colonoscopy prep kit does nothing. Doctors to this day won't even acknowledge that I have a problem. I don't eat anymore because it's just too much misery.
So make a drink water water with sprinkle of cinnamon & teaspoon of honey in warm water
My GI dr said many people with chronic constipation have a magnesium deficiency. I have added a supplement and it helps. Doesn’t hurt to ask and try it if they ok.
My question is, I’ve been having pains in my lower chest (not quite abdomen). How high up could there be pain.
you probably have stones in your gallbladder
Yea I’m having that .. it’s like right below your rib cage and it feels really tight :// how are you now btw ?
