Can constipation cause flu like symptoms? (chills, lower back ache etc) i hadnt had a bowel movement in 5 days & started feeling like i had the flu

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Constipation cannot cause flu-like symptoms. However, infection in the abdomen can cause constipation, chills and lower back ache. It can be difficult to determine which is causing what. See a doctor
