Sorry to hear about the blockage. It seems you should focus on having more healthy bowel movements,
Dr. Schulze might recommend taking Intestinal Formula #1 to ensure proper peristalsis in the intestines and the Intestinal Formula #2 taken in intervals throughout the day to prevent blockage. I don't believe diatomaceous earth is encouraged for natural healing, you may have to search for outside sources following that type of protocol. You may wish to find a colon irrigation clinic near you in order to clear any obstruction you may have.
Here is a list of information on where to start with colon cleansing with natural healing:

The colon is an exit channel for removing cellular wastes, environmental toxins, etc. It must be cleared and functioning properly or it may find different exit channels in the body that are less convenient for us (through the skin), and creates imbalance in normal bodily functions. Keep the alley-way clear for traffic ;o)
Best of luck + health!
