A member asked:
Can there be a mass built up under your left rib cage/upper abdomen from poop? or lack of popping?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes!: Yes this is very possible . How constipated are you? Consider talking to your doctor about a laxative such as miralax (polyethylene glycol). You can take 17-34 g a day. Ask your doctor before using to take more than that for 2 weeks. Side effects are diarrhea and possible dehydration.
