Brief Answer:
Irritable bowel syndrome of constipation type
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to HCM and thank you for your query.
Your symptoms are suggestive of an Irritable Bowel Syndrome of the constipation variety.
you should eat a wholesome food rich in fibres and avoid carbonated beverages, gas forming vegetables especially cabbage, broccoli , cauliflower and raw fruits.
You should relax and try to be stress free. Anti spasmodic medicines would be helpful.
You would get some relief with osmotic laxatives like lactulose or Movicol. Do not use irritant purgatives which can increase your pain and produce a dependence.
Lubiprostone (Amitiza) is approved for women age 18 and older who have IBS with constipation. It works by increasing fluid secretion in your small intestine to help with the passage of stool.
I shall be happy to answer if you have further queries.
Wish you good health
