  Difficulty passing stool. Constipation can also refer to a decrease in stool quantity (e.g. passing stool every day but only small amounts). It can be caused by various factors, including dietary habits, mobility, illnesses, and medications.

• Acute gastric volvulus

  This medical emergency occurs when the stomach abnormally twists around itself, forming a loop. This can lead to obstruction, bleeding, and strangulation. It can happen when the structures around the stomach that help keep it in place are unusually lax or due to other structural abdominal abnormalities. It is most common in children and adults over 50 years old.
