prevents the passage of food, fluids and gas through the gastrointestinal tract. You can think of the gastrointestinal tract as a single tube from the mouth to the anus - if there is a blockage anywhere along that tube, the contents will tend to back up like a blocked pipe. Symptoms of a complete or partial bowel obstruction include: • pain (which may be crampy or sharp in nature) • distension and swelling of the abdomen • nausea and/or vomiting • constipation • a lack of passing wind There are many reasons that someone may develop a small or large bowel obstruction
