Seeking Pain Relief for GI and Stomach Pain

does anyone know of any pain relief medication/herbal remedies or anything that could help with pain relief for gi pain and stomach pain. for flair ups or just everyday pain because it's becoming harder and harder to manage :( (i can't take regular pain medication because most of not all of it is constipating and the ones that i've tried that aren't, just don't work at all or have horrible side effects)

Can People Die from Not Pooping?

Okay… stupid question.. can people die from not pooping? Last year I was in serious pain… so much so that I couldn’t move. My dad thought my appendix had exploded or something. I had an ambulance take me to the hospital. They gave me something for the pain. While I was there they had to give me an IV? Bc I was so dehydrated! I was so loopy at the time, and started flirting with the nurse. They took some sort of scan of my body… afterwards I was told to wait for my results… when my nurse came back she looked me dead serious in the eyes and said “Your full of crap!” Suddenly I burst into laughter (bc I was still loopy) it was funny at the time until… I looked at my mothers face. She was concerned and so was the nurse. I have always had issues using the bathroom… I just didn’t think it was that bad. Apparently I hadn’t gone to the bathroom for so long… now my muscles in that area don’t work?
