Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of stomach pain and constipation. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like antacid medicines containing calcium or aluminium , lot of dairy products in diet , irritable bowel syndrome , not enough water or fibre in your diet, hypothyroidism and could be due to hormonal changes. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination. Doctor may order stool test , endoscopy and ultrasound. Doctor may change your medicine or prescribe laxative , H2 blockers or antibiotics. For now eat more fruits and vegetables, drink plenty of water , take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain and take antacid after every meal.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
