A member asked:
Can a partial bowel blockage cause appetite loss ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, but...: A partial obstruction of the digestive tract could result in decreased appetite, but there are many things that can cause decreased appetite, so I would not jump to that conclusion unless tests have been done that would verify that. If you have a prolonged decreased appetite, especially if it results in excessive unintended weight loss, see your doctor. Good luck.
