Question: I am experiencing a intestinal blockage that prevents me from having a normal BM. Problem began on 12 Sep. On 16 Sep took milk of magnesia. No results. On 19 Sep took another dose. Pressure, but no results. Pressure continues but no bm despite 3 attempts. Colon seems to be blocked. Please advise.

Brief Answer:
Please provide more information and consider these guidelines

Detailed Answer:
Hello
I share your concern .
Not able to pass motion might be related to decreased motility of the intestine, consumption of junk food, less fluid intake.

Instead of milk of magnesia I would advise you to take liquid paraffin or syrup lactulose 20 to 30 ml at bed time.

Here I would like further information to help you better
Are you passing gas or flatus regularly?
Are you having bloating or abdominal distension?
Any history of pain in abdomen, vomiting or loss of appetite?

In my opinion you should take plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables and dietary fiber supplements.
You should take plenty of fluids 3 to 4 liters a day.

Please write back to me with these details so that I will be able to tell you more precisely.
Best wishes

Problem resolved following visit to hospital emergency room. Blockage caused by earlier injection of morphine and follow up use of oxycodne to treat severe pain from osteoarthritis. Have stopped use of any and all opiate medications and now rely solely on other drugs.
