Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read carefully all your concerns and I can say as follows:
1. I need to know more about your symptoms like:
- do you have constipation, blood stools?
- do you use foods reached in fibers or fast foods?
- are you overweight?
2. If I were your treating doctor I would suggest to do :
- abdominal ultrasound
- colonoscopy to better evaluate large bowel
3. Your symptoms may be related with :
- diet poor in fibers and liquids
- IBS ( irritable bowel syndrome)
- long large bowel called dolicocolono.
Meantime I suggest to change lifestyle like :
- take plenty of water
- use fresh fruits and vegetables reached in fibers
- increase physical activity
- avoid fast foods, spicy and beans, broccoli.
- avoid unnecessary stress
- use simethicone to decrease gas forming.
Hope it was helpful to you!
