Could The Constipation And Pain In The Abdomen Be Due To Kidney Stones?

Hi. I have been experiencing some pretty severe intestinal (for lack of my knowledge on what exactly to call it) distress since October. I have only had ONE normal (for me) bowel movement since mid October. It feels like I have an obstruction. My clinic has me on Miralax and I am awaiting a call with an appointment date/time for a G.I. doctor referral. I had an abdominal xray almost 3 weeks ago. The tech who called with my results last week could only say there were signs of calcification, possible kidney stones. Now finally, my question: would kidney stones be causing so many pooping problems and so much CONSTANT pain in my middle left to lower left abdomen, especially right after eating?

Kidney stones generally will not cause any pain in relation to food. If you have pain right after eating you need to consider any alternative diagnoses also. consult a nearby surgeon for further evaluation.
