Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Abdominal pain, weight loss and constipation warrants screening with colonoscopy yo rule out colonic pathologies including tumor and inflammation, especially if you are above 50 years of age. So, please be advised to follow up with a Gastroenterologist to undergo colonoscopy. Meanwhile, follow diet rich in fiber, drink plenty of water and take dulcolax once daily.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
