1. Your symptoms suggest acute constipation with gas trapping, which can cause bloating and sharp abdominal pain.

2. Start with a gentle osmotic laxative like Miralax (polyethylene glycol) it’s safe and effective for clearing backed-up stools without cramping.

3. Drink 2.5–3 litres of water daily, include warm fluids (especially early morning), and add fiber-rich foods such as fruits, vegetables, oats, and flaxseed.

4. Avoid skipping meals, excess coffee, or high-fat junk foods these worsen constipation.

5. Light walking and abdominal breathing exercises help stimulate bowel movement naturally.

6. If pain persists, stool becomes hard for more than 3 days, or you develop vomiting/fever, consult a gastroenterologist to rule out obstruction or IBS-C.
