A member asked:
Sometimes if i press across my belly above my belly button it feels like something hard and long going across my tummy. can it be constipation scared!

Possible hard stool: This could be firm stool in the part of the colon that goes across the upper abdomen, since it is not present all the time. To relieve your anxiety, you should have this checked to be sure.
