Answer 1

hi im a doctor, it sounds like constipation but it could be a number of other things, i need to know more how bad the pain is etc. please email me.

Answer 2

hi sounds like constipation which can have pains all round your body try fiber gel or lactose and eat plenty of fibre .you also need to drink aleast 8 glasses of water a day .no fizzy pop . I do have the same problem it also could be irritable bowel you need to go and see your doctor if it doesnt get better  takeaway not ideal for an everyday meal

Answer 3

You could be suffering from irritable bowel syndrome judging by the type of food you say you have been eating recently.  You need to get back to a proper diet and eat sensibly again.  Try eating more fibre in the way of cereals and fruit and make sure you start eating vegetables again.  Natural Bio Yoghurt will help to settle your system

If the pain persists after you have returned to your normal diet then you must make an appointment to see your Doctor to rule out any underlying cause.

Hope you'll be feeling better in a few days.
