A member asked:
Can you have solid bowels but still have a bowel obstruction?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
SURE: If you have a small bowel obstruction, usually from surgical adhesions from prior procedures, the colon, downstream from the small bowel, will still have material in it at the moment of sbo. So, for a day or two, a patient with an sbo can have a bowel movement, but they'll be distended, nauseated, and have cramping pain. Good luck.
