Ken, in some sense partial obstructions *are* just the worst case of gas ever. “Normal” gas pain happens when gas is briefly trapped, so peristalsis makes it stretch the gut (ouch!) rather than proceed forward. There’s 22 feet of intestine smooshed into the abdomen, so there are always temporarily narrowed areas that (ideally) slip around in there and open up as needed. Things like adhesions impede some of that free movement and can make narrowings more persistent. They do generally clear up on their own, and people have often reported here that contrast liquid seemed to resolve their obstruction. I’m not an expert on the various postures people advocate, but simple walking is a very common theme. In my experience once the acute problem removes things can feel a bit bruised for a day or three.
