My daughter is having stomach pains a lot. She was having issues of not being able to poop. She was only going about twice a month. She is now taking fiber gummies which has helped with that but she still has pains. Do I need to schedule an apt with a specialist? email is YYYY@YYYY

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that your daughter is suffering from lFecal Impaction due to Fecolith formation or fecal stone formation that are nothing but hardened stools that obstructs the colon and there are very few bowels or at times no bowels..
As your daughter is having just two bowels in a months it seems like a severe case and you need to immediately consult a Gastroenterologist and get evaluated and he can do a digital disimpaction by putting a gloved finger inside the anus and manually breaking the stones..
A soap and warm water anema can also help.
It will be further followed by laxatives and stool softener to regularize and ease in evacuation of bowels..
Taking a high fibre diet, drinking plenty of water,avoiding spicy and heavy meals, limiting tea and coffee and moderate workout can help..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
