constipation vs. bowel obstruction?

[anonymous]

I've been having GI problems recently (and some in the past), although I am pancreatic sufficient. I was in the ER yesterday... and I'm still confused... what exactly is the difference between constipation and a bowel obstruction or intestinal blockage????

Thanks!
