Constipation, Pain In Abdominal Area. Taking Soda Relieving Pain. Advice?
my name is mary. I am 61 yrs. old..have constipation very often..been having pains in the lower abdorminal area above my hip mainly on the right side but can sometime feel the pain across my lower back on the left side also...when lying down I hurt when lying on my right side more than the left side...I can't seem to bend without feeling the pain...last nite and today was bad...I have been drinking soda this weekend..i probably can see that I have more pain when not drinking sodas. I have also been taking Epson salt and baking soda jn a warm c. of h20 to 1 tablespoon soda or Epson salt for the last few days, one or the other to cause elimination of gas or waste...can you recommend something that I can take to help the pain,,thank you

instead of taking pain killers give stress on ur diet to reduce ur constipation like the diet rich in fibrous food ,,,,,,take lot of fruits and fluids,,,,and if the pain still persist ,,,,take isabgol to get bulk in ur stool.........
