If you have not gone #2, the waste will start poisoning your body. Your cartilage will start to swell (like your ribs have already done). You need to get yourself an enema to start with to break loose the stool that is doing the actual blocking. After that you should be fine. If you don't do something fast, the cartilage of all yoru ribs will swell and cause you extreme pain even to breath.

Eating fiber is important but you have to take in plenty of fluids which help make the bowel movement softer and easier to pass. If this doesn't work, drink a cup of HOT prune juice. You might try drinking a bottle of magnesium sulfate (about a dollar at the store) and if that doesn't work, see a doctor. You might have a blockage and wouldn't want to take a strong laxative in case that is the problem. If you live in a hot climate, you are using extra fluids for perspiration in which case you need to be drinking more liquids, especially water.

You might have IBS you need to take fiber supplements and drink a lot of water. If you like prunes they really work. They look awful but they taste good. Eat apples, dried apriots...Remember to go the same time every day. Don't strain gives you roids...Yuk! I have this problem and take fiber everyday. You need to go every day and it should be a lot plus your bm's should be soft like tooth paste. if not, you aren't getting everything out. This causes toxins in your body and you feel exhausted, swollen, gas on your sides and under your ribs. Go to the health store and ask a woman. We usually have these problems.
Good luck

you named your own problem girl, you are CONSTIPATED, plugged up, badly corked. Take some laxatives and stay close to the toilet. In future, take in enough fluid with all that you eat, especially high fiber stuff, or it just turns to concrete in your gut. The body needs a minimum of 2 liters of water every day.

Try taking a laxative. If you are in too much pain, you should go to the hospital, because you may be compacted.

An enema is what you need. If you can't get a Fleet enema at your local chemist you can order it over the 'net. But it's a good idea to have a real enema (bulb/nozzle) in the house - you can get them at enemakit.com amongst others.
