Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you are having symptoms of constipation and acidity which could be due to many reasons such as

- Due to decreased gastric motility

- Gastroesophageal reflux disease

- Inadequate intake of fluids and fiber rich diet

- Eating a lot of dairy products

- Some medications like antidepressants, acidity and certain conditions like hypothyroidism.

- Irritable bowel syndrome

Need not to worry. You should avoid intake of sharp, spicy and hot food substances. I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination. Doctor may order colonoscopy or other tests to look for blockages in your colon , barium studies and blood test for hormonal changes. You should start with drinking a lot of water , do light exercises and avoid fatty and heavy meals. Doctor may prescribe fiber supplement, osmotic laxatives , stool softeners and medicine to reduce acidity.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
