<bot>: Hi. Your symptoms of not able to pass poop in spite of pain in abdomen and wish to pass a poop is very classical of a condition called procto-colitis, meaning inflammation of the colon and rectum. Before you start any sort of treatment I would suggest you to undergo colonoscopy and biopsy to determine the cause, get blood, urine and stool tested and also undergo ultrasonography. So that a specific treatment can be started. You may have to alter your diet and beverages to suit to your intestines. Consult a Gastroenterologist
