Friday morning I woke up with a terrible pain in my stomach. At first I thought it was just constipation so I just went on with my day. It didnt go away. Hurt all through yesterday and is continuing today. Terrible stomach pain, abdomen pain, hurts to push on my stomach, feeling completely bloated and not a huge appetite. I took a stool softener and have pooped a few times, no let up.
Hi, A certain degree of bloating is normal but in case of excessive bloating, it may be a sign of food allergy, hiatal hernia, IBS or inflammatory bowel diseases.  So you should do Gastroenterology work up but first, try to change your dietary habits, it means: eat smaller meals but more frequently, avoid fried and spicy food, take mental tea, avoid alcohol and coffee, eat probiotics and milk products, boiled food and vegetables.  Also, there are medications such as Florian, Magnesium oxide or certain Laxatives which may relieve such symptoms of this continue.  If there won't be an improvement on these measures, you should consider doing diagnostic tests such as colonoscopy, anal sphincter manometry and food allergy testing. Hope I have answered your query.
