Constipation: Any abdominal distention? Pain? Vomiting? These might suggest a bowel obstruction; although i would doubt this at your age. You should be drinking about 6-8 glasses of water daily. If your stools are hard when you have had a bowel movement, add colace as a stool softener up to 3x daily. A non cathartic laxative such as MiraLAX (polyethylene glycol) may be helpful if the problem does not improve.
