How Can Abdominal Bloating, Burning Sensation And Constipation Be Treated?
Hi. Recently I got sick with what seems to be a cold. I had the typical symptoms the first day then after that I felt bloated and constipated. Eventually I was able to make a bowel movement, but I still felt bloated. I mostly feel it in my colon and it also causes a pain similar to what heart burn would feel like, but it is very very brief. I m assuming it is from air being trapped in my colon but I ve taken multiple doses of gas relieving medicine and it hasn t helped much. It s not necessarily painful, it just causes a lot of discomfort. Thank you for your time.
