Blockage

note: I took the ramen noodles, banana and immodium on Sunday.

Maybe stop the immodium and drink some white grape juice to move things along.
Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks beckysmom

Should I continue drinking warm water and hope for the obstruction to improve? Thanks

Is your stomach extended and hard? Have you vomited? These are the signs when my daughter has a blockage, distended abdomen and waves of pain. She finds walking and even getting on her knees and butt in the air and swaying from side to side sometimes helps. I think I have read on here if you start vomiting a lot you may need to head to the ER. I don;t know about the warm water, but it sounds like it could help.

Maybe someone else will come along with more to add.

Hope is resolves quickly.

If you think you have a blockage, the things you took wouldn't be the best thing for it. In the future don't take bowel slowers (Imodium) or pain killers (they also slow down the bowel). Don't eat bulking foods like bananas and ramen. Drink liquids, move around as much as possible, take warm baths or use a heating pad if you're in pain. Drinking warm water is good.

I've forced myself to vomit when I've had a partial blockage - that offers a little relief. I've also jumped up and down (trying to force the offending blockage further along) and I roll on my belly an exercise ball. Since you're in China, try getting on all fours and having someone grip your hips and whip them from side to side quickly - that can sometimes get things moving past the blockage. Again, keep moving around as much as you can.

But no more imodium or bulking foods until things are back to normal. Broths would be okay. And try to stay hydrated. However, if you start vomiting or you're passing nothing over an extended period of time I think you might need to seek medical attention.

Partial blockages usually pass. That's the good news.

And don't eat peanuts in the future without drinking lots of water....

Thanks a lot for the advice. I am doing a lot better now. I am not passing much gas anymore but I still have some growling when I drink water. Currently, I just drink lots of liqiud and skip any solid food.

I'll remember drink lots of water whenever I eat any peanuts
