Went to er for upper right abd distention/pain/ and no bm. x-ray showed air-fluid levels in right colon. they said normal and sent me home. blockage??

No: Air fluid levels can be there for many reasons besides blockage.A total bowel blockage will cause severe pain,vomiting,etc and you will not be able to pass any gas.Best to call up your primary and discuss with them.
