Ah! A chance to post an important note. Only something like
15% (if memory serves) of blockages show up on x-ray. That
leaves another 85% which don't.

BTW, have heard of a few individuals who had barium enemas
with blockage x-rays and had the enema dislodge the blockage.
It doens't sound like it's very common, but like it is possible.
