has anyone had problems with an ileus or intestinal obstruction > 2 years out

last weekend I was hospitalized with an ileus ( paralyis of the small intestine) that just popped up spontaneously. I don't know where this came from. I am running wild in my mind, Such as did the carbonyl iron I am taking that consitpates me cause it? I just recently started it at the suggestion that the ferrous sulfate might not be absorbing properly. I never had any problem with the ferrous sulfate at all. At this time I have been on clear liquids pretty much exclusively since saturday evening. I had a 1/2 turkey sandwich in the hospital to prove I could eat enough to go home, but since then most every thing has given me a stomach ache. I saw my doctor yesterday, she said keep up the liquids and introduce solids gradually. I took down a protein shake with a banana blended in it this am and so far so good. I am losing weight fast and I do not want to or need to lose more. I am worried,
