Suggest Medication For Inconsistent Bowel Movements

i have had 2 very solid compacted bowel movements in past 3 weeks. i was recently in the hospital they gave me everything you can name. nothing worked. i took enema and whole box of laxative in 3 days, nothing worked. so i went back to the hospital, for them to send me home with a gallon of peg 3350 and mag citrate. what do i do if that didnt work either and my stomach has been huge for weeks and this stuff made it even bigger. need medical advice ASAP. in extreme amounts of discomfort. ive been thinking also a possibility of pregnancy, i had my last period about a month ago, havent had sex in between. i assumed the hospital would take a test, but they asked me when my last period was and i said i just had it so im thinking maybe they didnt. maybe i got my period and am pregnant. ive been thinking this for over a month now but in the first 2-3 weeks i had 2 negative tests, was suppossed to return to dr. for another one 2 weeks later and never did. VERY confused and concerned.

Hello,

You may repeat the urine pregnancy test with early morning midstream urine.

Inconsistent bowel movement with constipation be due to lack of fibre in the food or it may be due to a sedentary lifestyle or it may be due to IBS-C etc.

Get it done ultrasound abdomen, bowel dynamic study and stool examination.

Continue laxative and eat high fibre diet with physical exercise. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
