If you are constipated you may take a fiber laxative like Metamucil and drink enough water daily so that your urine is colorless. For the long term you may try to increase your intake of fiber foods. Consult this site for fiber foods. http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/high-fiber-foods/art-20050948 Wish you good health!

Consult a gastroenterologist. Appropriate testing will be performed in order to make a diagnosis,advise, treat & provide follow-up care. You may be experiencing diverticulitis, especially if there's associated abdominal tenderness. If you haven't had a colonoscopy for years, one may be eventually recommended after diverticulitis, if present,has resolved. Change in BM's needs colon check also
