for the last 6 months i have steadily been getting more and more constipated. i ate some foods outside my diet on christmas, and my gut has been distended since. i just noticed last night when laying down that i can feel a bunch of hard lumps on the lower left of my stomach. could this really impacted feces? ive never felt anything like it. feeling your poop through the skin is a very strange and uncomfortable feeling. when i woke upo the next morning it was still there. i had a large coffe to try and clear it out, and i ended up pooping incredibly hard stools, they were like animal feces, completely dry, almost looked like grass when cut them in two. but still, after going to the toilet my lower left abdomen still has a lot of hard lumps in the same area. i can only assume that these are more feces that moved down the line where the ones i just pooped out used to be?
i see three solutions to this
eat as much as i can to force the blockage out, but this sounds scary, and what would happen if my stomach really is blocked? then id be in real trouble. what would they even do at the ER? do they give you an enema for a blocked colon?
second is what i am doing right now, fasting and waiting for it to come out. im trying to walk and run a lot as that usually stimulates movement. any recommendations for laxatives are greatly appreciated. coffee is the only one I know that works.
third would be to perform an enema, however, i have never done this before.
is massaging the stomach to stimulate movements possible?
im starting to get worried, im only 25 and i know a blocked colon can be very serious.
