I ate some lasagna yesterday and haven't gone to the bathroom since. I'm bloated and it burns inside. What's wrong?
Hi Debc,
Could the lasagna be blocking you up? Is this the first time that you have eaten something that has done this to you?
Are you cramping? Can you keep fluids down? Throwing up?
If you can then stick to hot tea (green tea is very good), water, diluted juices and try a heating pad on your tummy.
Walking around can help some too...get up and walk around the house or the block. Some food can give you a machanical blockage (like a traffic jam in there...it may have been too pasty with all of the flour, ground beef etc) and it needs a bit of help to go through and I find that sitting around does not make it better...the movement encourages digestion.
If after 24-48 hours nothing has moved or gone through you need to contact your doctor.
Hope that this has resolved by now
