How To Overcome My Constipation And Bloating?

I'm a 40 year old female and I've been dealing with constipation for a long time now and just recently about a WEEK now developed severe upper stomach bloating, especially after I drink or eat. Feeling full quickly and I have gained about 5 pounds due to bloating. The bloating sometimes effects by breathing..out of breath quickly. I'm waiting on a blood test and to see a GI specialist. I'm on Prevacid and Zantac..about a year now. Please help. Thank You.

Hi,

Bloating could not cause weight gaining it must be due to high calorie intake, genetic, depression and others, the most common causes of bloating could be hyperacidity (Dyspepsia), infection, food allergy, and it requires the differentiation.

It is good if you planned for consultation with gastroenterologist, till then you can try, Tab Omeprazole, Domperidone, drink more water and have more fiber containing diet, do some regular exercise, to low down the depression.

Hope this information helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
