Constipation: Constipation is common and source of many abdominal symptoms. A bowel regimen to achieve 2 soft bowel movements daily (water, juices up to 1.5 liters daily, fiber tablets, laxatives, stool softeners, probiotics) and walking are non-prescription tools you use to reach goal. If you have fever, vomiting, localized pain lasting over 40 minutes get evaluated again.

Try Milk of Magnesia (magnesium hydroxide): This is abnormal. You can try some stool softner and milk of magnesia (magnesium hydroxide) but should probably see your doctor if you do not have bm soon.
