A member asked:
Im having pains that come and go in my lower abdomen also followed by gas and smaller looser poops, is this constipation or bowel obstruction?

Constipation: If you are having hard small stools and pain is not severe this is most likely constipation. High fiber diet(fruits and veggies), plenty of water, prune juice can help. If you are having severe pain, vomiting, definitely unable to pass any stool for several days you need to be seen asap.
