A member asked:
Very good morning doctors. could you, please excuse my words, "pass gas" if you have a bowel obstruction? what are other possible ways to rule a bowel obstruction in or out?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Intestinal obstructi: You can pass gas in an incomplete bowel obstruction but not with a complete one. Diagnosis is made by the patient's history of characteristic symptoms, presence of a distended abdomen, and either a plain abdominal xray, a ct scan, an ultrasound, or with an air or barium enema performed through the rectum.
