A member asked:
Abdominal discomfort x 1 week. unable to pass gas. bloated. no fever, n/v. concerned about appendicitis? md wants me to take laxative??

Maybe: It may just be constipation, but we always worry about a bowel obstruction causing the same symptoms. If you are not better in a day or so after trying the laxative, you need to get in to see your doctor. If you have a bowel obstruction, it needs to get treated sooner rather than later.
