Curious to hear from those who have experienced partial blockages.. I was camping this past weekend and was totally fine the day we arrived (although have been trying to ween of antibiotics in general).. ended up having a sandwich with prosciutto, tomato, basil & mozz and the later had nachos and two s’mores (both of which had giant marshmallows - like each was the equivalent of maybe 3 regular sized marshmallows). I ended up having a very gurgly belly that night along with general discomfort. The next day I definitely started to have looser stools and noticeable loud bowels. Two days after I had a ton of watery BMs after which I went in to my integrative health office for fluids because I knew I was losing too much too fast. Definitely had waves of painful cramping (higher in my bowels) and then last night my bowels just felt generally sore and I’m still having liquid BMs 4 days after the day of camping food. I started taking my normal higher dose of cipro/flagyl on the 2nd day to be cautious, which I normally respond to within 2 days (including formed stools). While my cramping and discomfort has subsided, I’m still stumped by the continuous liquid BMs. I was wondering if maybe the marshallows created a partial blockage situation and my bowels are still trying to recover? For those of you who have experienced them, do you go right back to normal after the blockage passes? Thanks in advance!!
