A member asked:
Ct of abdomen showed fluid full loops of fluid and stool loops of small bowel. no bm in 7days. doc said no inflammation or obstruction? what?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Incomplete picture: Just because bowel loops are fluid filled does not mean they look inflamed nor that they are obstructed. The CT results need to be coordinated with the physical exam. You should follow-up with your PCP if symptoms are persisting.
