Suggest Treatment For Lower Abdomen Discomfort, Acidity And Constipation
I am 54 with an underactive thyroid. For a few weels I have been experiencing discomfort in my lower abdomen-not really a pain-like a grumbling discomfort. I also seem to need to pass a lot of gas. I am also very constipated. I started taking Venlafaxine 150 about 6 weeks ago.
As per your complain you have problem of lower abdominal discomfort and constipation problem that may be because of intestinal infection or food intolerance problem or other reasons.
Hypothyroidism also cause constipation problem. Take a high fiber foods and more water. Fresh fruits and vegetables helpful in digestion. Consult a gastroenterologist for further diagnosis. Detail history and investigation give exact idea about problems. Treat underling cause.
