A member asked:

Time to see a Dr.: If you've been constipated for 2 weeks it's time to see a doctor. That is not normal, especially for a young woman. You need to go get checked.

Thoughts..: Constipation, cramps and fatigue are general symptoms and may not be related to each other at all, so there's a very long list of what might be going on. Your doctor will likely ask you about blood in the stool (or even do a test for blood in the stool), a check for anemia. Simple constipation can cause cramps, so someone can try fiber, water, exercise, and otc things like miralax (polyethylene glycol).
