Suggest Treatment For Painful Constipation With Nausea

I used to have regular bowel movements. Like clock work every morning. This past month I have been going every few days. My stomach gets huge, is painful, and I get really nauseous. I have tried using milk of mag,Miralax, and prunes and I still can t go. I went a tiny bit yesterday and it looked moldy. What is going on?

Hello
I appreciate your concern
Looking at your history this could be due to any of following
Colitis or gastroenteritis
Irritable bowel syndrome
Acid peptic disease

I would like further information to guide you better
Is there any abdominal cramps or foul smelling stool
Is it associated with excessive flatulence or bleeding with stool
How's your appetite
Have you lost weigh?

In my opinion you should consult your doctor for stool test for ova cyst or protozoa, occult blood or fat
You may need a course of antibiotics under supervision of your doctor
Have plenty of fluids including ORS and lemon water with salt and sugar to counter dehydration and electrolyte imbalances
wash hands with antiseptic soap before food

Hope this helps you
follow up questions are most welcome
wish you good health and faster recovery
Regards
