Suggest Remedy For Frequent Bowels Movements With Bloating
I have a history of severe constipation and gas. I resolved it in part with gas x and stool softeners and increased fiber diet of high fiber bread, vegetables, fruits, prune juice 8 oz day, water, banana (potassium for heart issues). I now have regular bowel movements for 2 or 3 days then cramps, bloating and diarrhea. After which I feel better again for awhile. Seems to be a cycle.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of frequent bowels movements with bloating which could be due to lack of fibres in diet, irritable bowel syndrome, giardiasis or some medications intolerance to dairy products or other food items , eating too fast, and overgrowth of bacteria in the small bowel. Need not to worry and take few preventive methods. I would suggest you to avoid food like dairy products , drink warm water and do light exercises and eat light and non spicy food . If condition doesn't get well then consult gastroenterologist for proper examination . Doctor may prescribe H2 blockers , proton pump inhibitor along with antibiotics and anti inflammatory. You should take diet rich in laxatives and probiotics. You should take plenty of fluids in diet.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
