Stomach pains and trouble with bowel movements?
Sorry if this is TMI, but here it goes: I was constipated for two days, drank a can of prune juice yesterday. I went a little bit that night, but my bowel movements looked real small and dark. I went again this morning, again it wasn't a lot. Then I ate cream chipped beef and corn beef hash because I was feeling better, but ever since then I feel worse. I have stomach pains (kind of like cramps) and even cramps in my lower back. I had lots of farting, but now that went away... I can't find anywhere open that sells prune juice. I also am dizzy and hot (but the air conditioning is broken so that could be why) and I am also on a fertility medication called clomid... what can I do to help me go to the bathroom since I can't find prune juice? Or is anything else wrong? Please help.
Also, I am still having cramping and stomach pain, just no farting. And today was my last day of fertility meds.

You probably have a lot of gas that has built up. You might try a few stretching exercises but that would be to try to straighten out any kinks in intestine. When you don't go to the bathroom and build up gas you have pain the teh stomach and back. your bowels may pass little balls or strain because it won't pass. You may not be drinking enough water. Have to keep the intestines moist with fluids and should eat fruit and vegetables to be regular. It could be just the gas and you are trying to pass it, the farts.
A more serious thing is when the intestines get a kink in them and nothing can pass through and it can get gangrene in there as it rots. Taht is painful and could lead to infection so don't just take your feeling hot, as AC could be that, but take your temperature. If you have a temperature, I'd suggest you call your doctor tomorrow and try to get in. Tell doctor about the pains and cramps and the constipation and the dizziness and the temperature. i hope it is not this as it can be serious, but is rarely this though it is possible.
I hope that it is just lack of roughage and fluids and fruit. Be sure to eat 3-5 fruit a day, 8 glasses of water and vegetables 5-7 a day. However, you may need some medical help now as that might not solve the problem. If you drank a whole can of prune juice that sounds like enough. Eating 5 prunes a day might keep this from happening again as well. If your pain is high and particularly if you have a fever, call the doctor. Good luck to you. I don't know about the medication as to how it might dehydrate you. You don't want to get dehydrated.

It could be from constipation. I had horrible pains in my side plenty b/c I was once as soon as constipated for the primary a side of my being pregnant. Try taking a tylenol to peer if that is helping ease the ache. Your muscle tissues are moreover stretching/increasing so it will with ease be that. If it could now not depart i could identify your document
