"Colon Blockage symptoms. The extension of the abdominal wall will normally be a presentation, or swelling in the abdominal area. It will be accompanied with pain, cramping with vomiting and chronic constipation. It's vital to ones health to have this diagnosed properly, because our Colon is to digest, it houses probiotic bacteria, that helps break down food, process the waste and clean the bowel. And it's amazing that, just to make sure the Colon is kept clean, it doesn't mean every day take a cathartic or something that would make your bowel move, or to take something that would be making you go to the bathroom everyday. But you have to be careful of what you're eating, for example, some people can eat lots of grains and lots of whole wheat breads and things like that, and others can't because they're not used to eating it. So it has to be a gradual thing that they get used to. So sometimes it's not a Colon Blockage that someone is presenting with, it could be that they have changed their diet. So if it goes on for a while there, maybe a week or so, I would definitely, if you feel that this is the problem, that the Colon Blockage and that you're not doing well, and you're having more swelling and more vomiting and chronic constipation, it is time to see your physician because can not enjoy a good, healthy life without having a good, clean Colon."
