I haven't had a bowel movement in 48 hours. i feel like i have to go and get stomach cramps and nothing happens. what should i do?

Constipation: if this is a frequent occurrence then you need to be evaluated by your physician. If this is a one time occurrence then it depends on how urgently you want to go. You can get a gentle laxative like correctal that will work overnight or be more aggressive and get magnesium citrate at your local pharmacy. You drink half the bottle, tastes like salt, if no success in an hour drink the other half.
