Pediatrician: Talk to your pediatrician about your symptoms. It sounds like you have a tendency to constipation and physical exercise will be critical going forward along with diet adjustments and proper hydration. A constipation type irritable bowel syndrome is also possible and a focused exam along with detailed medical history should help in further delineating.
