Stomach ache

2017-12-14 22:16:19
I took a stool softener about 4 days ago and my entire abdominal area has been aching in various ways and my stools have been on irregular schedules. I feel an ache in my stomach after I eat and some pain in my lower abdomen before I have a bowel movement.

It will be a temporary effect of stool softener. It ll get better. Keep going for toilet whenever you have the sensation , even after the meal. Do not try to control or postpone it. That's not good. If you keep going for natural call without restriction, irregularity will normalise very fast
Next Steps
Drink adequate water. Eat normal diet. Don't restrict the diet since you have urge to pass motion after food.
