Suggest Treatment For Bloated Stomach And Constipation

Hello, I am a 16 year old male and I'm experiencing a heavy amount of bloating. It started about 3 days ago and is not going away. Since that time I've made 1 bowel movement with the aid of a laxative.. The troubling part about this is that i had improved my diet recently. I added fiber bars and granola along with a salad before my main course of dinner every night. I was working out and feeling fantastic until one night I became very bloated and I noticed that I could not make a bowel movement or pass gas. Since I have gone to the bathroom, which was earlier today, I am still bloated and feel discomfort in my stomach. I am not overreating and am wondering why this is occurring, can you please help. Also will my stomach go back down to normal size once the bloating goes away, or will it remain bulging and big?
