Abdominal pain: Get an evaluation. It could be diverticulitis- an inflammation of the outpouchings of the large intestine. Drink 6-8 glasses daily, eat fiber and fresh fruits to have regular bowel movements.

See dr.: Have you ever had a colonoscopy? Please see your primary physician for a referral to a gastrointestinal physician if not. A change in bowel habits and pain could mean a serious diagnosis.
