A member asked:

Is it normal to have tummy ache after constipation?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Eric Kaplan answered

Specializes in Colon and Rectal Surgery

Possible: Due to over distention of the colon or lare intestine. More importantly, you should determine why you are getting constipated and work on preventing that. If the ache does not resolve within 24 hours of the constipation, see your doctor or a specialist such as GI or colorectal doctor.
