Digestive and Bowel Disorders Forum

I have problems going to the washroom. I know that I have to go, but nothing comes out! I can let gas out, but not go to the washroom. I haven't gone in about 4 days now and I have a really bad stomach ache. When you haven't gone for a while, does your stomach poof out? I've gained weight...Is that normal due to not being able to go poop? I'm usually a skinny person, but my stomach is making me look fat...Not fat but just...Bigger. Is that normal? I've taken stool softeners, but nothing is helping. Please help me!

Have you tried massaging your stomach? It often helps to massage the lower region of your stomach as it will get the bowels going. Also try drinking prune juice. Good luck with that.
