Reply to "How do u know it’s time 4 antibiotics?"

I don't think there's generally any connection between antibiotic use and blockages. Antibiotics mostly address pouch inflammation, and blockages are usually a mechanical problem upstream from the pouch. Because blockages clear up on their own most of the time it can be tempting to associate the improvement with whatever you were doing just before it cleared up. Sometimes the connection may even be real, which seems like it might be the case for the barium swallowed to image the small bowel, but most of the time it's coincidence.
