A 58-year-old woman completely edentulous man was transported to our hospital by ambulance with complaints of abdominal pain and vomiting. Abdominal computed tomography revealed multiple objects in the dilated ileum. An emergency laparotomy was performed and a diagnosis of ileus caused by ingestion of lotus root was established. We advised the patient to obtain and wear dentures. However, she did not comply and continued to swallow food without chewing. After 11 months, she was readmitted with the same symptoms. A second emergency laparotomy also revealed food-induced ileus. No recurrence of food-induced ileus has occurred after the patient agreed to wearing dentures. When encountering patients presenting with ileus, the patient's diet and eating habits should be verified, and the condition of the teeth at the time of diagnosis should be evaluated. Encouragement of patients to improve eating habits, along with adequate dental care, sufficiently prevents food-induced ileus.

We herein report a case of food-induced small bowel obstruction (FIBO) while using a glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist (GLP1-RA), trying to lose weight due to distorted body image. The patient was a 30-year-old woman who was not obese (height 158 cm, weight 50 kg). She started taking an oral semaglutide, a GLP1-RA, and it was soon switched to weekly subcutaneous semaglutide because of ineffectiveness.

Impacted food was fragmented and removed by double-balloon enteroscopy, and the duodenal tract was reopened without any adverse events.

In three patients an obstructing phytobezoar (made up of bran, sauerkraut and pumpkin in one case each) was removed at surgery from the small intestine. In three other patients ingestion of a grapefruit, bran and turnip led to an ileus, which lasted for 3-9 days but responded to conservative treatment after 3-9 days.
