An elemental diet for bowel obstruction in pregnancy: a case study.

M Phillips1, P Curtis, N Karanjia.

Bowel obstruction is a recognised complication in pregnancy, especially in those with adhesions from previous surgery. We report a case where the use of an elemental diet was successful in avoiding surgery in a pregnant patient with recurrent conservatively managed small bowel obstruction.
