Best Answer

Codeine often works to backup the bowel and cause blockage. With a full blown attack the bowel is often narrowed to the point where little can get through the restriction except liquids, blocking this completely is serious and will cause the patient to require a hospital stay not to mention the pain and nausea involved with a complete blockage.
