What Causes Sharp Abdominal Pain And Bloating Along With Constipation?
I have been dealing with constipation for a long while. For the past 5 month I had taken laxetives 4 times, each time I vomited while my bowel moved. I stopped the lax and went to a colon cleanse and began drinking hot unsweet green tea. I began to help move them but my stomach began to distend. The past 4 days it has been getting wore with feeling full, having pressure, sharp pains at times, and not being able to eat much. Beginning yesterday, I became nauseous after eating. What could cause these symptoms and what can I do?

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of sharp abdominal pain and bloating along with constipation . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like consuming foods known to cause gas in some people, such as milk products that contain lactose, broccoli, appendicitis, crohn’s disease, gastroenteritis, irritable bowel syndrome or urinary tract infection. Sometimes excess acid production can also cause constipation. I would suggest you to avoid above mentioned foods , eat light and non spicy specially at night , take light walk after every meal , eat small and frequent meals , also eat lot of fibrous food .In case if there is still no improvement you can consult a Gastroenterologist and get evaluated and he can advise you investigations like blood tests, colonoscopy, barium swallow etc to rule out the exact cause of the problem. Doctor may prescribe ornidazole , omeprazole , laxative , anti inflammatory along with antacids and laxative .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
