What Is The Treatment For Severe Constipation And Abdominal Pain?

My girlfriend has been having very bad constipation for the past couple of days. It has been accompanied by abdominal pain and vomiting. She does not have insurance so I was wondering if there was any OTC remedy that might help her have a bowel movement. She has already tried oral laxatives so I am not sure if a suppository or enema would be appropriate. I know she needs to see a doctor, but we just don t have the money for a few days.
