Suggest Treatment For Partial Obstruction In Small Intestine

I have had a partial obstruction in my small bowel for the last 5 days. Today I finally passed some feces to my colostomy bag but it was mainly full of brown foam that even overflowed at the top when I changed my bag. What would be the cause of the foam? Thanks so much! Sue

HI
Well come to HCM,
I really appreciate your concern, here the chances of infection need to be ruled out because this could be protozoa infection (You have not mentioned some detail here like your age and gender and diagnosis ) hope this helps take care and have a nice day
I find this answer helpful
