See answer: If the constipation is severe, abdominal pain may indicate a fecal impaction. You can self check for this. If impacted consult your Dr. Prunes, prune juice and dried apricots are often effective laxatives. Reduce sweets, simple carbs and to some extent less meat and chicken> Increase fruits and vegetables and exercise. A stool softener may help if stools are very hard. See> http://bit.ly/1uzOegm
