Laxative perhaps?: How long you have been having difficulty passing stools? If this has been a while, you may need laxative along with dietary changes. You will need to eat more fibers (fruits and vegetables) and drink adequate of fluid. Good luck!

Constipation: Sounds like you are constipated. You could try Metamucil, stool softener, and/or a laxative. However, if you have blood in your stool or fever, see your PCP ASAP.
