You can be constipated but still pass stool. What will pass is stool that is small and soft, that is how it gets around the hard stool lodged in your intestines. I agree with above answer that you are taking in a lot of fiber but not enough fluid. At this stage since you are beginning to feel very ill, it is time to see a doctor ASAP before you get any worse, such as a total bowel obstruction or perforation of the intestine. The doctor will get an Xray to see just how much stool is in your intestines and will then decide the safest means to get it out of there. It maybe as simple as a stool softener or enema. Things aren't good in there if you are feeling very ill. The doctor will also be able to rule out any infections. I would be seen now so you avoid any complications that may arise. Drink water! Good luck!

Hard To Pass Gas

Maybe you are taking too much fiber. Try taking a stool softener or maybe an enema.
You need to see a doctor. It is not a good sign when you can't pass gas and your bowel movements aren't normal this can be a sign of a blockage.

hmm. I guess it might be the quality of the fibre that you are taking in. You might need to decrease the beans and whole grains and INCREASE the fresh, raw, ripe, organic fruits and veggies. Decrease or cut out the following: coffee, chocolate, sugar, dairy and other animal products. Definitely INCREASE the fresh, raw, ripe, organic fruits and veggies and make smoothies as well. If this doesn't work in one week, then read about cleansing and fasting. A fast is really the way to start getting your life back in order and then raw vegan. It works.
all the best!

Hemorrhoids are associated with constipation and straining at bowel movements. How to get rid of hemorrhoids https://tr.im/Xyxr6
Pregnancy is also associated with hemorrhoids. These conditions lead to increased pressure within the hemorrhoidal veins that causes them to swell. Other conditions, for example chronic liver disease, may also cause increased venous pressure and may be associated with hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids are very common and are estimated to occur in up to one-half of the population by age 50.

Try using baking soda in water. The directions are on the baking soda box. As for your stools it sounds like you need to add a fiber supplement to help bulk up your stools.

you are having too much fibre and not enough water. Cut down a bit on fibre and make sure you have at least 8 glasses of water per day.
