Update Fall 2012: I quit after two years as a business analyst. I work at a tech company now and am much happier, but realize that I would not be where I am without my experience at Deloitte. Most of my team in my current company came from consulting (Bain, Deloitte, etc.) as well. ________________. I work there now, I've been here for more than one but less than three years. It is my first job out of college.
Causes of a Blocked Bowel. Most cases of small bowel obstruction are due to mechanical causes. A small portion of cases are due to impaired intestinal motility, thereby preventing the flow of chyme further down the gastrointestinal tract. This causes intestinal contents to become âbacked upâ.
A blockage could be caused by: 1  Hernia. 2  Scar tissue (adhesions) 3  Impacted stool. 4  Gallstones. Tumor.  Abnormal tissue 1  growth. Intussusception (a section of the bowel slides in to itself, similar to when a telescope is closed)  Twist or kink in the intestines 1  (volvulus) Ingested foreign body (swallowing a nonfood  item)
