A member asked:
I'm just wondering, if you have an obstructed bowel can you still pass gas?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe...: There are variable degrees of bowel obstruction and with progressively higher degrees of obstruction you may stop passing gas. Usually at this point you will have severe pain and vomiting also.
