Reply to "Scared to eat food after obstruction :("

The veggies don't cause the blockage. A narrowed or kinked area of intestine is the cause. Food gets impacted behind the narrowing and stretches out the intestinal wall, causing a lot of pain.

If you think you may still have a narrowed area, liquid will get by more easily than larger, fibrous material. Gradually advancing your diet helps you catch a persistent problem before you get into big trouble. Good luck!
