Reply to "Working on ships - A bowel obstruction question."

Manuel,
Working on a ship, like anywhere else should not be a problem if you have a healthy, functional J pouch...bowel obstructions, if you have never had one, are rare occurances and should not be a problem...if it ever happens just put yourself on a fluid diet, inform the ship's doctor about your conditon and drink a lot of warm tea, grape juice and use a heating pad...you will survive a few hours if needed and the ship's infirmary is equipped with the essentials if necessary.
I wouldn't allow your pouch to limit your life or your dreams...so go ahead and if ever needed make sure that the ship's doc is aware of your conditon.
