Hi
Welcome to HCM
Thank you for your query
I understand your concern
Possibly you have irritable bowel syndrome
But need to work out other causes too by preferably getting a thyroid profile calcium levels and colonoscopy done.
If it is normal then not much to worry
Try following things and see how you feel
Ensure adequate water intake
Have high fiber diet with lots of salads and fruits
Go for regular brisk walk
Avoid straining for stools
Can take laxative like lactulose along with isapgula husk after consulting your physician
If still Constipation persist can take sodium picosulphate after consulting your physician
All this will help you in long run
Most important is stop worrying about the problem

Family has concerns about Lactose, Gluten,Crohns, Colitus, lymes ect. Nice to have so many care, however are thier concerns something to be aware of and elimate one by one? The weight gain and unpredictable dirreaha are a main concern as exercise of any kind gets more difficult.
