Family history of colon cancer? If yes, schedule colonoscopy with GI specialist. If no, discomfort may just be from cleansing the colon. A heating pad to the abdomen can calm discomfort. Liquid diet with electrolytes (Gatorade, etc) with banana, rice, weak tea, applesauce, plain yogurt can help settle bowels, too.

For constipation - 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!
