Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for choosing HealthcareMagic for your query.
Have gone through your details and i appreciate your concerns.
As per your query answers are-
Yes definitely food or impacted food can cause intestinal obstruction.As a matter of fact Intestinal obstruction caused by food is a fairly common acute abdominal disorder. The obstruction is generally caused by fruits. Eating lots of junkies low in fibers can cause intestinal obstruction.
Don't worry too much just follow what i suggest you for few weeks.Initially follow changed food habits with few medication after a week taper the medications off and just follow a health life style as suggested below.
Start taking VSL#3 Thrice daily.
Its a probiotic .As we all know Bacteria Help Digest and Absorb Foods. The most plentiful and important bacteria in the small intestine is the Lactobacillus species. Lactobacillus helps ferment indigestible carbohydrates and, as mentioned below, supports the breakdown of sugars in dairy products, which are a common source of food sensitivities.The gut flora helps to neutralize some of the toxic by-products of digestion, reduce harmful substances (such as toxins and carcinogens), and discourage 'bad' bacteria and yeasts. It also helps to stimulate the digestive process and aid the absorption of nutrients, as well as producing vitamins including B and K. Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that are good for your health, especially your digestive system. We usually think of bacteria as something that causes diseases. But your body is full of bacteria, both good and bad. Probiotics are often called "good" or "helpful" bacteria because they help keep your gut healthy. this microbiota is disturbed food is improperly fermented causing production of large amount of gases in gut leading to severe flatulence.Hence most commmon cause in most of the cases is disturbed microbiota.In old patient mobility of intestines is severly compromised leading to accumulation of large amount of gases in intestines.As persitaltic moments are week gas accumulates in intestines.Severe constipation or incomplete evacuation can also hinder the passage of gases.
Secondly take lactulose 15 ml once daily with half cup of water before going to bed once daily.Its a very safe laxative.Take it for 5 days.
As ultra sound should be done if there is any blockage it would be apparent in it.
Take a proton pump inhibitor like Esomeprazole 40 mg twice daily for 3 days. This will provide you symptomatic relief from symptom of gases.
Apart from this, some dietary restrictions are to be followed-
- Avoid alcohol or smoking.
- No aerated beverages.
- Take light non spicy easily digestible food for few days.
- No Fast food like pizza or burger should be taken.
- Drink a cup of cold milk daily.
- Avoid fatty foods.
Please mention the exact duration of your symptoms with follow up/
Regards.

Hi Dear,
Please don't panic nothing is going to happen to you.
Even its an obstruction it could be unclogged easily.
But as suggested above either go for a ultrasound scan or take the otc.
Follow complete treatment just taking a part of it won't help.
The point you are showing in picture are usually a common site for impacted stool clumps so get a usg done.
Remain calm nothing will happen to you.
