I'm a 27 year old female. OHIO.

Two weeks ago I had trouble moving my bowels. I thought to be nothing other than constipation since the a couple nights before I had a large amount of cheese in my pasta dinner. It was five days before I decided to purchase a suppository and then stool softeners for the days to follow until I was going regularly. The suppository worked almost immediately and the stool softeners did absolutely nothing. I went back to not going regularly. Yesterday I purchased Prune juice and took another suppository and 30 minutes later I was going again. (Nothing solid though) However, I now have extremely bad gas built up inside of me and I feel it "gurgling" in my upper stomach lower/chest area. Its rather painful and very uncomfortable. Also has been occurring for hours (Approx. 15) I purchased an Anti-Gas medicine called PhaZyme and it worked for about 15 minutes and the gas returned. I'm at a loss for what I shall do next. I'm very close to making an Emergency Room visit (since I don't have Insurance). I hope someone can help. Thank you!

Please make an appointment with your doctor. We do not diagnose online.

It could be something as simple as common constipation, or something as complicated as IBS, Celiac Disease, Crohn's.
