How To Cure Constipation And Bloating Of Stomach?

Amenorrhoea for 4 years. Periods started to become irregular when I started University ( 5 years ago). Eventually, they stopped completely ( 4 years ago). At a similar time, I started getting stomach problems - my stomach would be frequently bloated. I still have this problem now and cannot pinpoint it to any particular foods. I often suffer from constipation (always have done because I ate a very poor diet as a child - no fruit or veg) despite eating healthily - lots of fruit and veg and water. My periods stopped when I was at a normal health weight (I had actually gained weight whilst at University). I went on a diet to lose the gained weight - lost too much weight - ended up anorexic. Since my periods stopped way before I developed anorexia, I do not believe that the two are linked - but I wanted to provide this information anyway. I am now fully recovered - I weigh more than I did when I was having periods as a teenager (just over 9 stone, 170cm tall) - and still no periods (as I said, I don t think the two things were related). I am prone to having low blood sugar attacks (I have always been prone to these, but it seems worst after recovering from anorexia - again, I don t think this is related to my periods). I still have frequent bloating and constipation. I have a reduced libido. I have vaginal secretions every day (leaves white stain - no smell).

Hi.
Thanks for an elucidate history.
What is your age now?
The history makes me think of such diseases that need a careful clinical and chemical evaluation like the hormonal studies and other work-ups for the hormone secreting glands like CT scan for pancreas, USG for thyroid ,CT brain and for pituitary. Consult an Endocrinologist.
Constipation and bloating can be treated with over the counter laxatives and Charcoal tablets.
I find this answer helpful
