Question: What are some common intestinal disorders that could be causing my constipation and abdominal pain?

Answer: There are many common intestinal disorders that could be causing your constipation and abdominal pain. We would recommend seeing your physician to get a proper diagnosis but it could be any of the following:

• Irritable Bowel Syndrome
• Celiac Disease
• Chrohn’s Disease
• Diverticular Disease
• Intestinal Parasites
• Poor Diet
• Ulcerative Colitis
• Stress

As you can see there are a wide variety of possible causes for your symptoms. If they have been going on for more than a few days we would definitely recommend seeing your doctor.

On the other hand you may simply be constipated and that is what could be causing your abdominal pain. If this is the case perhaps you should consider an herbal supplement that will soften your stool, cleanse your colon, and rid you of waste material that could be clogging you up.

These are widely available online and in many local pharmacies. If you would rather try something more immediate consider adding more fiber to your diet, a laxative medication, of even an enema, all of which have been effective in relieving constipation.

We hope that you do not have one of the common intestinal disorders listed above and that you are simply constipated. Please feel free to post again if you have any further question.
