Rib pain: Constipation and rib pain are 2 different problems. The rib pain can be due to costochondritis. You should see your doctor to diagnose the exact cause for these 2 different problems.

See your doctor: You can try over-the-counter antacids for heartburn and stool softeners +/- fiber in your diet for constipation. If this is a new problem that did not happen before, or if it is not releived easily by above suggestions, please contact your doctor.
