Constipation, Feeling Something Struck Inside, Cramps. Taking Laxatives. Fecal Impactation?
Hi, I recently returned from overseas for 9 days and have now been home for 10. I have been constipated and feel as though something is stuck inside of me. I have taken laxatives and only been able to have small runny poop. I also get cramps when I am pooping or trying to poop. I am 45 and in good shape. Do you think I have fecal impactation? I have been drinking lists of water, fruit, tried Metamucil but that did not help produce a normal stool .

Hi,
It seems that you might be having some gastro-intestinal infection, bacterial or amoebic.
Go for Ofloxacillin, tinidazole combination tablet course after consulting your doctor.
Take light diet like curd, rice and buttermilk.
Take plenty of water.
Ok and take care.
