Update Fall 2012: I quit after two years as a business analyst. I work at a tech company now and am much happier, but realize that I would not be where I am without my experience at Deloitte. Most of my team in my current company came from consulting (Bain, Deloitte, etc.) as well. ________________. I work there now, I've been here for more than one but less than three years. It is my first job out of college.
Causes of a Blocked Bowel. Most cases of small bowel obstruction are due to mechanical causes. A small portion of cases are due to impaired intestinal motility, thereby preventing the flow of chyme further down the gastrointestinal tract. This causes intestinal contents to become âbacked upâ.
Intestinal pseudo-obstruction (false blockage) is a condition that causes symptoms like those of a bowel obstruction (blockage). But when the intestines are examined, no obstruction is found. The symptoms of intestinal pseudo-obstruction are caused by a problem in how the muscles and nerves in the intestines work. Symptoms of pseudo-obstruction include cramps, stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, bloating, fewer bowel movements than usual, and loose stools. Over time, pseudo-obstruction can cause bacterial infections, malnutrition, and muscle problems in other parts of the body.
