M58, what would be treatment for flax seed caused intestinal obstruction partially?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Don't eat them!: You would have to eat a huge number of flax seeds for them to cause a partial obstruction. You need to consider alternative causes. The treatment would be the same for any partial small bowel obstruction - NG tube to decompress the stomach, no eating, and the tincture of time. Surgery only if it does not resolve with conservative measures.
