Suggest Treatment For Constipation And Abdominal Pain
I have been constipated for the past few days and I have abdominal pain. The stool is mucousy when I am able to evacuate. I took a stool softener last night and passed a large bowel movement this morning. I felt relieved after passing it but a couple hours later the abdominal pains returned. I tried to eat foods that contained a high amount of fiber in hopes that it would help me pass another bowel movement, as this seems to bring relief. However I am not able to pass very much at all when I go to the bathroom and my abdominal pains are worse now than before.

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to constipation.
I suggest you use an over the counter option such as Miralax.
I also suggest using daily probiotics. I recommend drinking liquids and eating a fiber-rich diet.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
