A member asked:

If i hava blockage in my bowels n i've takn exlax n did a suppository how can i unblock the bkockage? i keep gettn really nauseas

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bowel blockage: In a 31 yr old bowel blockage can be from constipation. If you are feeling nauseated, an evaluation may be warranted. Ok to use suppository but avoid oral laxatives. It can cause more damage in unresolved blockage. Have low residue liquid diet and seek medical attention . Long term avoid constipation.
