Re: So Scared! Help!
The most important question here is how long have you been constipated before this happened?
When I can't go for only a day, my system gets pretty backed up. I get bad cramps and I have frequent bathroom trips.. but they are pretty normal. When it gets to be a few days where I can't go, my system is just absolutely horrid. For example, on vacation 2 years ago, I couldn't go for 6 days.. I'm assuming it was from the anxiety of being away from home for so long. Plus it was a 'traveling vacation' so.. many factors went into it. Anyway, the last night at the hotel, my stomach hurt really bad. I went to the bathroom- endless d! Thought I was fine.. a half hour later: more endless d! I kept having d until I went to bed that night. It was my body's way of flushing out what was backed up for so long while being constipated.
Are you often constipated? You may suffer from IBS-C. What you are describing sounds exactly like that. I don't think you are sick, I think your body is just a bit backed up. Try and let it run it's course. If it's not better soon, maybe take some pepto. It should slow it down and relieve your cramps. Feel better soon!
