Guide To Common Bowel Obstruction Symptoms

Nausea And Vomiting

Nausea and vomiting are some of the earliest symptoms of a bowel obstruction. These are the body's way of telling individuals something isn't right with their digestive system. The nausea and vomiting often occur before patients experience other serious symptoms, and they might think they simply have the flu at first. Part of the reason for the vomiting is that the material inside the bowel might back up into the stomach because it doesn't have any way to exit the digestive tract. This leads to feelings of nausea, and it can also cause individuals to vomit. One of the ways to tell the vomiting is related to an obstructed bowel is that the material tends to be dark green bile. Experts refer to this as bilious vomiting, and it is most commonly seen in children and newborns who have a bowel obstruction. If someone is experiencing bilious vomiting, they should see a doctor or an emergency medical professional immediately.
