Could It Be Serious To Have Stomachache, Nausea After Bowel Movement Even After Taking Laxatives Which Am Entirely Dependent On?

I have been pretty much laxative dependent for years and recently I took 2 dulcolax laxatives 2 days ago. I did have a bowel movement but still do not feel empty not to mention my stomach still hurts. Not cramps, but just more than a stomach ache. This has not happened before. Usually I go and then I am fine, but after 2 days and still feeling sick, nauseaus I'm a little worried. Could it be something serious?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I can understand your problem, you are doing absolutely wrong, you do not seems any abdominal problems in fact you became over conscious about your bowel movement, if you do not go for defecation for days then also it does not cause any harm taking laxative without any pathological reason would be bad for health, if you feel that your abdomen does not fully emptied then this is functional feeling and this is the only feeling makes the person more conscious, tends to take the medicine, now for the management, have fibber diet, drink lot of water, keep habit to for defecation even you do not feel it, but still go in and sit there for 20 minuets do not apply any force, stop taking laxative, every thing will be fine soon have nice time. (Better to try Isabgol powder)
