GI problems
Im 15 years old, I have been dealing with constipation sense I was a bout 11; as I got older it gradually got worse. I have been experiencing rectal bleeding, pain when I go to the bathroom, and bad abdominal pain. Right now I am on 3 constipation medication, colace, miralax, and senokot. The longest time I've been constipated was for 2 weeks, it got so painful in my abdomen I almost went to the ER.
I have a high fiber diet, drink lots of water and I have already tried so many natural remidies that will only work for a minute, I'm very desperate for any type of answer or advise on what might be going on.

Hi.... Adding fiber to your diet increases the weight of your stool and speeds its passage through your intestines. Slowly begin to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables each day. Choose whole-grain breads and cereals.....
Exercise most days of the week. Physical activity increases muscle activity in your intestines. Try to fit in exercise most days of the week...
Don't ignore the urge to have a bowel movement. Take your time in the bathroom, allowing yourself enough time to have a bowel movement without distractions and without feeling rushed.....
