Hello,

As per your query you have symptoms of abdominal pain and bloating with severe constipation which seems to be due to consuming food substances such as milk products that contain lactose, broccoli, could be due to systemic causes such as irritable bowel syndrome.

I would suggest you avoid the intake of these food substances as these are known to cause excessive gas production. You should eat light and nonspicy especially at night. Take a light walk after every meal and you should eat small portions and take frequent meals. Increase fiber content in your diet. If the condition doesn't get well then consult gastroenterologist once for proper examination. Doctor may order barium ultrasound, endoscopy along with stool test and may prescribe ornidazole along with laxatives.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
