TMI Diarrhea & constipated at the same time? Help

I've been feeling bad since Sunday. My head started hurting so bad that I was sick on the stomach.  I called my doctor they sent me to the ER which said I was dehydrated. And my stomach has been cramping like I have diarrhea but I'm constipated.  It's so uncomfortable is there anything I can take?

Stay hydrated and start increasing your fiber intake. Eat more fruits or or dried fruit or oatmeal.  Also you can do a fiber supplement, like Metamucil it actually tastes pretty good and give you an extra glass of water a day! You can even take it twice a day. It has really helped.
The fiber gummies or bars don't do jack squat. I've had digestive issues for years, my doc calls the "fiber one" bars "Fiber None" bars. The supplements you drink really do work wonders.

You can take colace for the constipation. I'm feeling the same for the past few days, crampy like I have diarrhea but I don't. Headaches and achey.. It was so bad last night I broke out in a sweat all over and was in so much pain. I just got told to drink lots of water...
