Don't worry : Short term bowel problems are common. If it persists for another week or two, see your primary care provider. Hope this helps!

Liquid around: Solid stool can give those symptoms. You could be backed up solid all the way to your right colon. I'd recommend a Miralax (polyethylene glycol) clean out over a weekend. Just put a cap of Miralax (polyethylene glycol) in everything you drink, and try to be sipping on something all day. Once you are pooping water, you know you are clear. Miralax (polyethylene glycol) is safe, has no taste, and can put it in any non-carbonated drink. Just draws H2O into stool.
