The small intestine moves a *lot*. Adhesions usually don’t create permanent narrowings, but when the intestine moves in certain ways it gets narrowed because the adhesions prevent it from moving freely, often by anchoring a single point. If you’ve ever had a drawstring get caught in the dryer door you get some sense of what a single anchor point can do.

Yes, you pretty much have to wait it out. If you can’t take in enough fluid then you’ll need an IV. If you get fully obstructed for any length of time then you might need surgery.
