Emergency. Help needed

Hello all. I need some help. I had not had a bm in a few days so I took a laxative and now I'm experiencing horrible stomach pains like not your ordinary pains associated with taking a laxative. A sharp pain in my gut. Like stemming from my belly button. Have any of you experiences anything like this? I'm terrified I did something wrong. I'm headed to the urgent care shortly.

I hope you are feeling better. My thoughts are with you wishing you better vibes... and holy cow iv in the neck! I almost passed out just thinking of it.

Another product to consider and it is natural is live culture Probiotics. They really help to keep your system in balance, and of course plenty of Water. My dietician recommended Culturel, open the capsule and put it in your Protein shake. I hope you feel better soon! The IV alone is awful, but in the neck I can't imagine!

I do get really terrible pains in my stomach. I had two kids the natural way and these pains I get from constipation is much worse. I use 3 Colace at night then I very full cap of myralax (spelling. I go in the morning when I get up. IF your problem has passed keep this in mind for the next time it may happen. Good Luck to you and congrats on your surgery.
