Hello everybody.
I have a serious problem I'm very worried about.
About 2 weeks ago, I had a very bad stomach ache.
I haven't ever been constipated prior to that, so I didn't know what it was.
I finally found out it was constipation about 3 days after it started, when I realized I couldn't go to the bathroom.
So I told my mom, and she went to get me a laxative.
I had on an off bowel movements every 5 minutes or so, but they were really small and didn't really help me at all. So I just left it alone. It's been at least 10 days since that happened, and I still can not go to the bathroom.
About 20 minutes before I posted this, I heard some more enhanced bowel sounds, and I rushed to the bathroom.
I had some Diarrhea, but that's all. I felt a bit more in there, but it started burning so I didn't push any more out.
I was just wondering what I should do.
Should I buy a Stool softener? I'm really worried about this.
If it makes any difference, I'm 14.
(I don't have a good diet, and I definitely don't get my share of fiber.)
