What Is The Remedy For Constipation And Abdominal Pain?

I am constipated and have a lot of abdominal pain. My stools are pencil thin and very little for a week now. I have tried a laxative, glycerin suppository, and eating fiber and drinking plum Smart with no luck. I have a low grade fever. I feel like I am freezing, and I am miserable. I am a 59 year old woman. What should I do?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain constipation and abdominal pain can occur due to causes like indigestion, sudden change in your dietary habits, excess intake dairy products, long term and excess intake of antacids,Irritable bowel syndrome,hypothyroidism,lack of physical work,stress, excess intake of tea and coffee etc..
Do moderate workout..
Limit intake of dairy products..
I would suggest you to consult a Gastroenterologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like Colonoscopy, Barium swallow, blood tests etc can help in diagnosis and treatment can be planned..
You can be advised to take stool softeners like Docusate..
You can also be advised to take Psyllium husk or Lactulose..
Take more of fruits and vegetables and drink plenty of water..
