Brief Answer:
IBS;lifestyle&diet changes recommended first...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have gone through your medical history carefully and understood your concerns.

Your symptoms of not going to toilet for 2/3 days, with very big stool and belly pain are indicative for possible IBS.

Immediate lifestyle and diet changes are necessary to improve your situation:
- increase water intake
- have regular walking or jogging on daily basis
- eat more fiber rich foods. Psyllium supplementation can also help
- take simethicone to reduce bloating
- avoid carbonated or energetic drinks
- avoid chilly/fatty/processed foods

If no improvement within a months of implementing such changes, should consult with GI specialist to run further examinations like
- abdominal ultrasound
- stool analysis
- schedule colonoscopy

Hope it was of help!
