“If you are really suffering don’t wait too long before going to the ER.”

This... Now... Bowel blockages kill around 300,000 folks a year. Best friend just lost his wife to a blockage a couple weeks ago. She only had the symptoms for less than a week and then she didn’t wake up.

My cousin was suffering from abdominal pain and only went to the ER when it became severe. Ended up having an emergency operation for a perforation in his bowel. You can't ignore pain that doesn't go away, your body is telling you something is wrong.
