Symptoms of an Intestinal Obstruction

Symptoms of an intestinal obstruction will vary, depending on the location and severity of the obstruction. Symptoms may include:

Abdominal cramping or intermittent pain
Bloating
Appetite loss
Constipation
Vomiting
Inability to pass gas
Fever
Dehydration

Symptoms of pseudo-obstruction are the same, but may also include diarrhea and, over time, malnutrition and weight loss.
