A member asked:
I havent had a bowel movement in 7 days. 10 years ago i had surgery on my intestines because i suffer from diverticulitis. could this be related?

Could be related. : This could be related. After abdominal surgery, we can develop adhesions (scar tissue within the abdomen) that can ensnare the small intestines and cause obstruction. If you haven’t gone in seven days you should be evaluated, especially if you’re having abdominal pains.
