Suggest Diet Plans And Medication For Constipation

I am thirteen 5 feet tall and I am 85 pounds. I had absolutely no appetite for my dinner on Monday. On Tuesday I stayed home from school and I thought I had diarrhea, but I really had constipation. It's now Friday. Within this week I've had drops of diarrhea whenever I felt like I needed to go but I never went. My stomach hurts. And the bottom of my left rib kind of does too. We called a doctor on Wednesday and they gave us MiraLax and I took it once since. It didn't help or do anything. I'm drinking prune juice now. I don't know what to do. It's been a week! And my mom is telling me she won't take me to the doctor because it's extra money that she doesn't need to spend. But I read online that it could cause death! I'm so so so scared and I'm crying. What do I eat? I already have 0000 meals in my stomach already! HELP. :'(

thank your for posting query.
no need to worry. constipation with short history is a common presentation and treatable.
be "stress free" if you want resolution of symptoms.

meanwhile,
advice:
-warm water intake as much as possible
- eat small meals (rich in fiber)
-eat plentiful "fresh oranges" and "pear "
- avoid COLD milk and yogurt and AVOID junk food(NO burger , pizza) altogether
- drink hot (warm) water on empty stomach to aid in bowel movement
- avoid beverages / alcohol/ soft drinks
- take two tea spoon (or one big spoon) ispagula with 200 to 300 mL water

hope the bowel movement would be normal.

any further questions are welcomed.

hope to answer your concern.
