I’m only 13 years old and I just spent a little over two hours attempting to drop the browns off at the superbowl. I’ve been eating the same as usual, but to be honest I probably don’t get enough fiber… and this is the first time I’ve ever had trouble ‘going’. I usually went once or twice a day. So this is what happened, and please take this seriously. I felt like I needed to go so I went into the bathroom. I know you aren’t ever supposed to strain yourself because that can cause hemroids. So I just sat there and relaxed. Nothing happened, except some stomach cramps and flatuence. So I waited a little longer until I finally started pushing, and some stool came out. It was a very uncomfortable experience, and it felt much harder than normal. I took two laxatives after that and layed down. The urge to go has died down a bit, but I’m nervous there could be something else wrong with me. Digestive issues run in the family. Any tips on how to go normally again?

Drink more water.
