Also called: Intestinal obstruction, Paralytic ileus, Intestinal volvulus, Ileus, Pseudo obstruction intestinal, Colonic ileus
Bowel obstruction or intestinal obstruction is an involuntary, mechanical obstruction of the intestines. The normal transit of the products of digestion is hindered. It can occur at anywhere from the distal end of the duodenum of the small intestine. It is a medical emergency and requires surgical intervention. Intestinal obstruction may be caused by ileus- in which the bowel doesn't function normally. Paralytic ileus, also known as pseudo-obstruction-intestine, is one of the main causes of obstruction in neonates and pediatric patients. Paralytic ileus can lead to complications such as jaundice and electrolyte imbalances. In neonates, paralytic ileus is caused by the destruction of the bowel wall. It is life-threatening and may lead to the spread of infection into the infant's blood and lungs. Gastroenteritis could be a cause of paralytic ileus. Symptoms include "Abdominal distention, absence of bowel sounds and abdominal pain".

"When my mother fell ill with cancer I wanted to find a natural solution to help with her suffering.
After an excessive
research I learned about Wheatgrass. And it seemed to work!
She passed through chemotherapy with ease. But was it the Wheatgrass?
And if it was, how come it was so hard to find out about it?"
