A member asked:
The doctor did a ct scan and said looks like a small bowel obstruction but i have severe diarrhea could it be something else and how's it treated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: A ct scan is not the best test for a functional bowel obstruction. A small bowel series is a better option. The cynics a one time picture and the fact that you are having diarrhea probably rules out the chance of a vowel obstruction. I think there is something else going in. Stool cultures are in order and possibly more testing.
