Stomach pain and fullness and constipation. blood work and stool samples came back normal. what could be causing this ?

Not enough: Could be not enough fluids or not enough fiber. If you take a lot of fiber but not enough fluid, that can cause a lot of problems with bloating and fullness. I also notice you have a history of back surgery. Are you taking narcotics for back pain? This can cause the bowels to slow down and back up. If so, you need to increase fiber and fluids, and may need to add MiraLAX (polyethylene glycol) or another gentle laxative.
