Having Lower Abdominal Pain. CT Scan Done. Results Say It Is Heavy Stool Block Up. On Mag Citrate. Need More Effective Medicine.
I had a CT scan today for lower abdominal pain. The results showed that I have severe block up of poop. I have a long history with constipation. My dr told me to drink mag citrate. I drank 10oz 6 hours ago with no results at all. I ate dinner after 4 hours. Is this normal? Does this mean I am compacted? Yikes I'm getting worried. Thoughts please
You are suffering from constipation. You need marked
changes in diet. Eat much fruits such as oranges, water
melon, paw paw and pine apples. Avoid frequent consumption
of carrots and ripe banana.
You need to do a stool test and WIDAL test in a bit to search
for a possible cause.
You could try duphalac (lactulose), by taking one sachet dissolved
in a glass of water three times a day but its a symptomatic treatment
and you should see your doctor for details and follow up.
Hope this helps you.
