I was in a similar situation yesterday. Stomach pain, throwing up from my toes --> bowel obstruction. Go to the ER and I am suddenly surrounded by fledgling surgeons looking for practice and moolah. Said nose tube, surgery - I said nooooooo, I want to wait this out. Gave me morphine and Zophran, always entertaining. IV saline worked its magic. Nature took its course; they looked disappointed. (This all was within a 24 hour period.) Five days is a different thing, of course. Wishing Catturd all the best!
Thank goodness you're better. I need to go get checked out. Haven't really number two'd in 3 weeks! No real discomfort. Interesting.
A gastroenterologist visit is in order. That said, read up, make your own decisions, careful who you trust.
I had a great conversation with a nurse while there. She said she doesn't trust any of her brethren and is shocked by the lack of critical thinking/the low bar in medical care these days. Insurance companies call the shots and are our doctors now.
