Reply to "How long to back to eating solids after a blockage?"

Every blockage is different. Most resolve completely, and the insides can feel bruised for a day or three. Sometimes the intestine can stay slightly kinked (and therefore narrowed), though, so proceed slowly and see what you comfortably tolerate.

Hi Scott

If the intestine stays kinked can it still eventually unkink itself in the future, or is this a permanent thing?

I’m just trying to gauge what i’m willing to put up with.

I seem to have a good run of a few days eating solids and a functioning pouch, then it gets blocked up again and i back off and go onto liquids again.

I don’t know if it’s just a patience thing with the food, or if it’s a permanent problem that needs surgery.

Thank you
