Hi thanks for contacting HCM...

Noted you are taking benadryl..
It can lead dry mouth and constipation like side effects....

So your gas problem might be by it if asking drug for long time...

Here are few suggestions.....
-Drink more water...
-Junk food less
-green leafy veg more
-fiber supplement can be taken
-apple, whole grain , wheat bran like fiber food taken..
-ginger tea good one
-chamomile in tea found to be helpful..
-Red beetroots rich in fiber , pottasium so good for digestion.
-avocados , oats useful....

If still needed stool softener can taken
