Abd pain constipatio: No not normal. The side of the pain tells us a little but not much. Best to see your healthcare provider to have this evaluated. Stay well hydrated. 5-10 servings of FRESH fruits/vegs a day, fiber supplement or PEG supplement like Mirilax can help the constipation. Hope this helps. Best of luck Dr R
