How to tell if i have a bowel obstruction or fiber blockage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
SBO or LBO: You should be evaluated by your primary doctor or surgeon as these symptoms are very non specific and may be related to a GI issue or even a stricture or other causes of GI tract narrowing or blockage.
