Article: Small snack-sized servings are easier for your body to digest than the full meal you may be used to. Aim to eat between 4 and 6 times a day, maybe once every 2 hours. Stop eating before you feel "full." This can decrease the risk of undigested food making its way to your small intestine, potentially causing a blockage. To ensure proper digestion, always eat in a relaxed setting. The more thoroughly you chew your food, the easier it is for your body to digest. Cook everything you eat so it is moist and tender. If something is difficult to chew, it is likely also difficult to digest. Many stringy fruits (pineapple, rhubarb) and vegetables (celery, bean sprouts) contain tough fibers that your body cannot digest. These fibers can build up in your small bowel, causing obstruction. Similarly, processed foods are harder for your body to digest. Meats, especially steak, take the longest to digest. Water helps your digestive system to function properly. Drinking a glass of water while eating and after every meal may help prevent blockage. Aim to drink between 8 and 10 full glasses of water each day. In addition to water, other fluids such as broth, tea, and juice are good. Milkshakes can also be good as long as you aren't lactose intolerant. Even though they contain a lot of water, don't use other drinks as a substitute for your 8 to 10 glasses of water. Rather than drinking rapidly, sip on water regularly throughout the day. You may have heard that raw vegetables provide more nutrients than cooked vegetables. However, if you've had problems with small bowel obstruction, raw vegetables may exacerbate the problem. Look for canned vegetables that are well-cooked and have had the seeds and skins removed, such as carrots, tomatoes, squash, and cauliflower. Frozen vegetables can also be a great option once they're cooked, especially peas, carrots, and potatoes. In particular, you want to avoid leafy greens (spinach, cabbage), stringy vegetables (celery, asparagus), and vegetables with tough outer skins (eggplant, green or red pepper). The seeds and skins of fruits contain types of fiber that humans cannot digest. In many cases fruit is peeled before eating. However, with some fruits, such as apples, the peel is routinely eaten. Avoid fruits with small seeds, such as berries or kiwi fruit, because you won't be able to remove the seeds before eating them. It's fine to drink the juice, however. As with fruits, nuts and seeds generally have fiber the human body can't digest. If you eat nuts and seeds, this fiber can build up in your small bowel, causing an obstruction. Similarly, popcorn isn't a good snack if you want to prevent small bowel obstruction, as it's a leading cause of bowel obstruction. Your body can't digest the fiber in popcorn kernels. Nut butters are fine as long as they are creamy rather than chunky. Caffeinated and alcoholic drinks can irritate your bowel. Caffeine and alcohol also are diuretics that can cause dehydration, leading to other bowel problems. Coffee itself can also irritate your bowel, even if it is decaffeinated.

You can print a photograph to use for your puzzle image, draw or create your own, or even use a card, poster, or any other printed image. For a photograph, choose a high-resolution image, and size it based on how large you want your puzzle to be. Print it off or have it developed at a photo lab according to your specifications. For a hand-drawn puzzle image, choose a high-quality paper that's the size you want your puzzle to be. Using your favorite medium, draw or paint your image directly onto the paper. You can also create your own puzzle image on a computer, and then print it off like a photograph. Plywood is more durable and traditional, but this will only work if you have a saw at your disposal and are confident in your skill with that tool. Cutting out a puzzle is delicate work and requires experience. You can also use a good quality cardboard to back your puzzle. This will be much easier to work with, and can be cut with scissors. Craft-quality cardboard can be found at most craft stores. The ideal thickness for a puzzle backing, be it cardboard or plywood, is one-eighth inch (0.3 cm). Look for a piece of backing that's as close to the size of your puzzle image as possible to avoid waste. You can use the cardboard from on old box to back your puzzle, but make sure it's clean, undamaged, and flat. Thin cardboard like that from a cereal box will work for a simple puzzle, but thicker cardboard is preferable. Aside from the image and your puzzle backing, you will also need glue, spray lacquer, a ruler, and a pencil. For a cardboard-backed puzzle, you will need sharp scissors or a hobby knife. For a wood-backed puzzle, you will need either a coping saw (a hand saw used for intricate shapes) or a scroll saw, an electric or pedal-operated saw that's good for intricate curves. Liquid craft glue or spray glue will work best for your puzzle because it's multi-purpose and won't damage photographs. If you are using a photograph for your puzzle image, be sure to find lacquer that's safe for it. Place your backing on a sheet of wax or parchment paper to protect the surface underneath. Place it good side down. Spray or cover the surface of the backing with glue and spread it around so there's an even coat all over it. Place your picture onto the backing. Use your fingers to slide it around so it's centered and straight. With a roller or old credit card, apply even pressure to the picture to help the glue adhere and remove bubbles. Let the glue dry. Glues have different drying times, but give your puzzle several hours to set if possible. Take your puzzle outside or to a well-ventilated area. Place it back on the parchment or wax paper. Spray an even coat of lacquer over the image. Check the can for drying time, and allow it to dry.
