After 3 days of suffering from a very uncomfortable stomach, wind and nausea. I decided to go to A and E this morning at 7.00. After a good prodding around (very uncomfortable) I was given blood tests and an X ray.
Blood tests were fine apart from a little low on Potassium (eat more Bananas) but the Xray showed I was suffering constipation, even though my discomfort was around the middle or belt area of my stomach. My question here is even though my visits to the loo are once or twice a day and I eat plenty of veg and fruit, can I still become constipated? I am a little concerned being as the Doc was very young and there is always the old doubt that was it constipation on the Xray or was it something sinister.
Any advice from constipation sufferers would be grateful.
