Constipation & Pain. Can't get a handle on it :(

I'm getting a stool analysis done but in the meantime...

I feel relatively ok in the morns but as the day progresses I start getting bloated and need to poop but can't, accompanying the bloating is colicky gas pains ALL AROUND my digestive track. Like up high then moved down low. It's not constant but off and on and gets to the worst by/after dinner. I FEEL like the trapped poop is irritating my colon.. That or because I'm really skinny anyway maybe the excess gas is stretching out my insides?

Is it just me?

I'd ask in gastro section but I KNOW the bloating that progresses as the day goes on is a hormonal woman issue as well sad

    Have you looked into juicing? Not trying to be an ad here but it is amazing. Celery juice with an inch of ginger and a pear or apple can help you. Same with kale juice. The vitamins absorb faster into the blood with the oulp and stuff removed. Diet can fix this, this is a diet issue when all else fails.

      Thanks Lisa and other replies. I appreciate each suggestion and will look into them. I brought some fresh Gilbert and turmeric and like a prat I forgot I have them. Need to do a veggie shop today and get some juicing foods, I WISH I could do kale but it makes my dry wretch sad
