What Is The Cause For Not Having Bowel Movement?

Hi I have been having some stomach issues for six days now. Thursday I came home feeling very sick and had diarrhea. I felt ok Friday and Saturday. Sunday I started using the bathroom often throughout the day 11 times total. I felt the urge to use the restroom 11 times but 9 of the 11 times nothing came out except some yellowish/white jelly substance. Since then I have only had 2 actual bowel movements. I woke up Monday night 3 times and went 10 times yesterday and 9 times today. I feel like there is something in there that needs to come out but every time I try the only thing that comes out is the jelly like substance. I have tried and enema and laxative today but still nothing.

Thanks for contacting healthcare magic.

You have problem of loose stool and more jelly like substance coming out in stool. Intestinal infection of bacteria or viral or parasitic infection may cause this type of problem .

Intestinal infection like ulcerative colitis or chons disease may ruled out.
Consent a gastroenterologist for further diagnosis.
Stool examination test is helpful for diagnose .
Abdominal ultra sonography can done.

Proper history and physical examination give exact idea .
I hope my guidance is helpful to you.
Take care.
Thanks.
