<s>[INST] I have been having abdominal pains for almost 3 weeks. I have been  eating healthy my whole  life I am 43. I sometimes am constipated and somtimes not. When I am not I notice a lot of air and a solid stool. I wonder if this is due to not enough water. This is the first time I ever had this. [/INST] Hi. Thanks for your query.3 weeks is a long time to suffer without any proper examination by a General Surgeon or Surgical Gastroenterologist. Eating healthy or not may not have to do something if the internal organ goes into inflammation. This may not also relate to the water taking. I would advise you to consult the Surgical Specialist, get ultrasonography and other tests as may be advised by your Doctor and get treated accordingly. </s>
