I just had my 2nd hospitalization for bowel obstruction in a year and a half. Luckily, gastrograffin worked for both, so no surgery needed. The 1st one was eating the wrong thing after a dehydrating day of air travel. This one, which wasn’t as painful, as I recognized the signs faster, and got to the hospital — I’m not sure what happened. I’ve eaten the same meal many, many, times, was hydrated. The only thing I can think of was that I was working from home and sat in the same position for a couple hrs after eating. Does anything help at early stages? Too bad you can’t buy gastrograffin (for obvious reasons).
