Partial block of constipation?

[Jimena]

How do you know the difference?

I have this proplem about once, or twice a month. Now i haven't had BM in 5 days and i starting to feel uncomfortable. My stool isn't hard, but it just doesn't come out! I allmost can feel where it is stuck, i get nauseous and try to move and everything so i can get things to move. I don't get in much pain, little discomfort, but nothing serious.

How can i know is it constipation or if there is some kind of block?

I'm not sure if there really is any way to tell. I've had an obstruction come from out of nowhere with no warning sign.

What has your eating been like lately? If you consume a low residue diet, it's possible you could just have constipation.

No i haven't been on that diet. I eat quite a lot vegetables, finnish dark bread where is A LOT fiber ( 13% ).When i do have BM after these "episodes" it is just normal, not hard at all. When i eat i feel like food gets stuck in somewhere after my stomack, like somewhere beginning of a small bowell. I can feel it on a left side, upper tummy. Sometimes i rub gentle on that side and i hear gurling noises and feel better then.

Maydy i need to speak with my GI and ask if i can have a small bowel checked.
