Constipation and mild nausea

I went to the doctor a week ago to find I had severe constipation. I was put on Miralax for five days. By day three, I was only have very small bowel movements. They were also stringy. My dose was upped to every 12 hours instead of every 24 hours. By then I began to have more bms. The day after I had about four fist sized ones, and I was feeling pretty good. Although all my bm have been stringy since I started Miralax, and I don’t know if that’s something I should be concerned about. Then mild nausea set in. I’ve been nauseous for about three days. Sometimes I’m not in the morning, but I’ve felt more nauseous at night. It’s not severe, and I’m able to do what I need to do in my day, but it’s worrying me a bit. I’m pretty gassy too. I’ve been drinking and eating as well as I can. I made another doctors appointment, but it’s not until Friday. I don’t know if I should be worried about the long wait or if I’m okay to just ride this out.  There hasn’t been much abdominal pain or anything of that nature. I’m not bloated or even feeling bloated. No pain when I touch my abdomen.

    Hi kylee I know it’s worrying, everyone is different, as long as your passing wind you know it’s not a blockage, it’s the worst thing to go though. There is another site online called HealthUnlocked it has a full section on constipation. 

    I drink a litre of Tropicana orange  juice  I feel this helps me. 

    Hope this helps.

    Update for anyone experiencing similar things and looking for answers: I rushed to docs appointment due to pretty bad nausea and gassiness. The constipation actually controlled itself. The new problem causing the nausea: overproduction of acid in my stomach.
