My husband went to Patient First last night for sudden abdominal pain. X-ray determined that he had a big gas bubble and a major blockage on the right side intestine. They recommended colate. He took it last night, nothing happened. He took a laxative this morning, nothing. I went to CVS and got him phosphate oral saline (10 teaspoons) and mixed it with lemonade (11ozs). It is now 5pm the next day, still in pain and sweating.
