Can't pass bowel movement but its not constipation!

[OberonLeFey]

I have been having SERIOUS trouble passing a bowl movement. It is NOT constipation, I used to have serious constipation as a child so I know what it feels like. Just in case, I have been drinking plenty of water and Metamucil but still nothing! I have the pressure in my belly as if I need to use the rest room, but every time I try to, I either can't or its extremely difficult

A NeuroGastroEnterology and Motility Center, would be the preferred choice
as the gastroenterologist may not have all the necessary advanced diagnostic equipment, nor the availability of newer therapies like: gastric electrical stimulation , and anal sphincter retraining using biofeedback.
A GP can make a referral to such a Center, in order to avoid unnecessary
delays and  possible complications.
Cheers,

You should see a gastroenterologist to see what's wrong

You may have: motility, G/I tract sensation or  brain-gut dysfunction.

It is not the place here to speculate, due to lack of key information, only available using advanced diagnostic tools.

I recommend you make an appointment with a reputable Neuro-gastro-enterology  (it;s a mouthful, lol!) and Motility Center in your area, if this is a
chronic issue for you.

Best wishes,
Niko
