Suggest Treatment For Constipation And Stomach Pain

Hi I ate raw sushi last week and started to have constipation and stomach pain. Went to hospital and they said I had a urine infection. I am extremely constipated and now have small hard yellowish stool. I am in so much pain since I still have cramping. My stomach is bloated and twice the normal size. Can this be from eating sushi? Also I have tried laxatives and they are not working...

HI
Thank for choosing HCM
I can under stand your concern, it could be constipation but it may not be due to the sushi that you eat, but it could be due to less amount of water intake less amount of fiber diet.
I would suggest to first try conservative line of treatment like eat more fiber containing diet, drink plenty of water, keep regular habit of defecation even in absence of need to go to toilet just be inside and do not exert force, no matter if you do not pass the stool.
If this treatment fails to respond and still it is the constipation, then you can try stool softener, like Isabgol powder, try to avoid the laxative or purgative, hope this information helps.
