Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to constipation. There are many reasons that can cause constipation such as diet, dehydration, stress.
I recommend using laxatives such as Miralax. I also recommend using daily probiotics. You should drink liquids and eat a fibre-rich diet.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
