A member asked:
Can food poisoning cause an intestinal blockage? this happened 3 years ago and i had an illeostomy and i'm going back in a few days for reversal surge
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Intestinal blockage: Food poisoning characteristically causes nausea, vomiting and diarrhea but not intestinal obstruction. The latter is caused by tumor, chronic scarring from diverticulitis of the colon or by intestinal adhesions. Less common causes are intersusception, incarcerated hernia, or volvulus. Your surgeon is best qualified to tell you the cause of your obstruction and need for temporary colostomy.
