Bowel Gangrene is when the blood supply in a person's body cannot reach a section of either there upper or lower intestine. The loss of blood flow causes the bowel to die. If the section of bowel is not removed immediately, the loss of blood flow will keep spreading and killing anything it can.

Gangrene is death and decay of tissue.

Gangrene in your intestines can be caused when blood supply is cut off to an area. Bacterial infections can be the cause of the gangrene. If there is slow blood flow moving through the intestines this will allow bacterial infection to grow quickly, often to fast to be controlled by the immune system.
