Does constipation cause side, back and belly pain?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes it can: Should get checked though if MiraLAX (polyethylene glycol) or Dulcolax does not help with back pain.

Absolutely!: It affects young and old alike except kids can't verbalized the pain as well as adults. In any case, use any laxatives or stool softeners and be consistent with it to give you the best results and relief . Otherwise , it will keep coming back. Also modify diet to high fibers and drink plenty of fluids to make it easier to go with softer consistency & become pain free!
