What Causes Extreme Flatulence And Constipation?

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...

Hi! For about a year I got (again) a problem with my sensitivity on my left side of the body (only the skin seem affected. The neurologist said that I had pinched a nerve in my neck). At the same time I started to get extremely bloated after I moved or leaned down to pick up stuff from the floor. After the holidays it got so bad that I could not eat anything without getting the figure of a 4 month pregnacy, so I decided to visit the doctor. They did a endoscopy (negative), a stool test (low amount of Bifidobacteria, high E.coli and Clostridium, normal candida, no Aspergillus), and Lactose and Fructose intolerance. I already knew that I did not tolerate Lactose much, but just a liitle bit. What came out is that I have as well Fructose intolerance. Now, the doctor said that the bacteria imbalance caused the intolerance to fructose. That I should do a probiotica therapy and limit the amount of sugars. I actually deleted the sugar from my diet, but now (4 weeks later and 4 kilos less of weight) it came back the extreme gas production. Even when I wake up in the morning (I do not eat big meals at night!). Just the act of getting up of the bed can trigger the gas production. Additionally, I have a severe constipation. I even get 5 days without bowel movement... maybe only wind, but that's it! I have noticed that the longer it takes to have bowel movement, I tend to get migranes. What should I ask my doctor to test for? Thank you for any help.

Hello,

After evaluation of the complete concern, this indicates underlying intestine flora disturbances with gut motility alteration. A long term intake of probiotics, bulk-forming laxatives, pro kinetic agents will cure the issue.
