Bowel obstruction?: Bowel obstruction can be partial or complete, due to problems outside the gut or problems within the gut, functional or space-occupying, acute or resolving, small bowel or large bowel. When obstruction is complete, surgery is needed. Based on the symptoms you describe, evaluation is warranted now to distinguish reversible versus problematic causes for your constipation, nausea, pain.

Unable to have normal bowel movements. Laxatives no longer work. I have to strain to the point of nearly passing out to pass liquid stool or gas. No bowel blockage shown on X-ray or CT scan. What could the issue possibly be?
