Hey CTBarrister, thanks for your comments. In the ER they wanted to give fentanyl for pain! I refused on the grounds it would slow motility. We settled on IV Tylenol.

I have been on Rifaximin with CIPRO down to 250 mg daily, easing off it when this occurred. Tried Rifaximin when back from hospital but vomited, and no meds since.

So if stricture and obstruction not related, do you know what generally causes the obstruction / that's what I think it is - or is it something else? It it just the wrong combination of food? I had a houseful and was eating less thoughtfully for the two days leading to this.

Abdomen sore & somewhat distended &
I've got loud gurgling now that I did not have at first. Is this good or bad?

And if the pain gets worse again, I'll get back to the ER. The fact that I went before is a reflection of the severity of the pain over 12 hrs. I NEVER go to the ER.
