Thank you for your question.
Typically appendicitis is more of a short-term illness that does not go away and return. Chronic (ongoing) constipation can cause symptoms like you describe. Another possibility would include a food sensitivity (like gluten intolerance). Try keeping a food diary of what you eat and when your symptoms occur. Take this to your doctor; this will allow them to see any correlation and suggest further tests or treatments.

Hi.
The symptoms are more suggestive of Irritable Bowel Syndrome IBS, the pain going into the low back is suggestive of this . This is a constipating form of IBS. You have to stop all the foods and beverages which enhance your problem. Ask our parents to take you to the Gastroenterologist so that further investigations can be due including Colonoscopy , CT scan of the abdomen to further clarify the diagnosis.
A perfect diagnosis is important for the proper treatment
