Suggest Treatment For Constipation And Stomach Bloating

Hi, I am a 24 year old female, I have been very constipated for almost 3 weeks (only able to go very incompletely and with great effort every three or four days, whereas I usually go at least twice a day). At first I attributed this to a (only mild) change in diet/activity due to traveling, so I only took glycerin suppositories yesterday (2 of them) These helped a little but it was still a bit difficult to go and I still feel very bloated and not fully relieved. What could be going on and what should I do? ( I have been eating a regular amount of fiber and doing a fair amount of activity, drinking about a cup of coffee per day and drinking lots of water. I have PCOS in case that s relevant, and am quite sure I m not pregnant.)

General & Family Physician 's  Response
HELLO,
I can understand your concern.
i would suggest you a syrup of liquid paraffin such a s cremmafin plus 10ml at bed time for two weeks and a digestive enzymes syrup like syrup bestozyme 5ml three times a day for two weeks.
this should relieve your problem. if the problem still persists i would suggest you a xray abdomen erect view and an ultrasound abdomen to rule out other causes of constipation.
hope you are satisfied with the response.
thanks for choosing HCM
