Hi China,
Good to hear from you on this board!!!It's not like talking about your soul.
Gee---Bowel Problems is what we talk about HERE. Yes---you can get cramping after you have a bowel movement and it's not that uncommon. As your colon has contractions more of your feces moves during a BM to take it's place in your colon and at times it can result in pain as well as cramping.
The best think is to start takng a water soluble fiber supplement like Metamucil or Citrucel. Both are bulk stool forming agents and safe to take daily---just drink enough water. At your age you might as well start taking this and never but never allow yourself to become constipated. It will just cause you all sorts of problems later in life and you might as well start NOW!!!
God Bless You---Harry<p>[This message has been edited by Harry (edited 10-22-2001).]
