Constipation: Not sure how you were diagnosed with an intestional blockage. Are you not having a bowel movement.? Could you be describing constipation or when you have not had a bowel movement? Complete intestinal obstruction requires ER visit. Constipation can be solved with laxative, fiber, more water. Buy these at a pharmacy speak w pharmacist. Consult Doctor for definitive treatment.
