Been having abdominal pains and nausea. Got abdominal x ray, which
according to doctor, shows large amounts of stool around my abdominal
area.
says i have constipation.
he told me to get on senokot.


the issue i have is:
i go regularly and have no problem with bowel movement. i take in
good amounts of vegetables and fruit.

I have been taking prevacid for about 1 month. could that be the
source of problem?

Abdominal pain and nausea are potential side effects of Prevacid.

When you move your bowels, if you move out about 1 once less stool than you
make, how can you tell? You can move your bowels every day and still have a
more or less full colon. Think of it like a railroad train. You get a full
box car of stool everyday, but you can't tell how many boxcars are on the
tracks. At least without an X-ray.

The following will help:

1) Talk to your doctor about the Prevacid.
2) Make sure you have a comfortable place to move your bowels and you take
enough time.
3) When you do feel the urge to go, go. Don't wait.
4) Drink plenty of water.
5) Take the Senokot like your doctor says.

Exercise really helps too.

So can some caffeine.
