Irritated bowel: Sounds like your bowel is irritated, but there are many potential causes that can't really be determined online. If it persists or worsens, then see a healthcare provider to start figuring out the cause.

Hard stool: It sounds like you are just suffering from some hard stool. You can try an over the counter stool softener or a powder like Miralax (polyethylene glycol) to help. You may not be drinking enough water or may be drinking too much caffeine which can dehydrate you. You can increase your fiber intake with oatmeal and brown rice, veggies like peas, broccoli, sweet corn, and fruits like apples, strawberries,and bananas.
