Solution From Constipation With Gas Bubbles And Growling In The Stomach

Hi, for the past couple of days I've been having, I guess, gas bubbles and growling in my stomach. I try to push down on my stomach or even it rub it to get whatever gas out like I've been told to do but then the bubble just moves to another part of my stomach. I'm also very constipated and I've tried laxative ( I took nearly a whole pack) and still have not been able to use the bathroom . I've tried alma seltzer..and nothing.. Please give me an idea on why this is happening

Hello & Welcome to HCM,

I had gone through the case and found that if your constipation problem is not cured by laxative and enema then you must go for proper investigation because there are many cause like-

-Inadequate water intake and fiber in the diet and activity or exercise or immobility.

- A disruption of regular diet or routine; traveling.

-Eating large amounts of dairy products.

-Stress

- Resisting the urge to have a bowel movement, which is sometimes the result of pain from hemorrhoids

-Overuse of laxatives (stool softeners) which, over time, weaken the bowel muscles
- Hypothyroidism

- Neurological conditions such as Parkinson's disease or multiple sclerosis

-Antacid medicines containing calcium or aluminum

-Medicines (especially strong pain medicines, such as narcotics, antidepressants, or iron pills)

- Depression

Eating disorders

-Irritable bowel syndrome

- Colon cancer


So go for proper diagnosis then take the proper medicine for the cause of constipation.

There are some investigations like


- Blood tests if a hormonal imbalance is suspected.

-Barium studies to look for obstruction of the colon.

-Colonoscopy to look for obstruction of the colon.

Hope my advise will helpful for you.

Thanks,
