What Causes Gas, Bloating, Abdominal Pain And Constipation?

I m a 63 Year old woman who has the symptoms of: bad breath, gas, burping, constipation, boating and pain in the right upper abdominal area by the rib cage. I ve had x-rays, blood tests, sonagram and a cat scan which do not reveal any signs of disease. I m thinking that it may be colon related. What do you think based on your experience? Donna

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of gas, bloating, abdominal pain and constipation which can occur due to many reasons such as food intolerance, inadequate digestion and improper metabolism and lack of fibres in diet. Drink one spoon of honey in warm water daily as it will relieve your symptoms. You should take diet rich in fibres. I would advise you to consult a physician or gastroenterologist and get examination done like complete blood count, stool examination, ultrasound scan of abdomen, colonoscopy & contrast studies. You should start treatment after complete examination. Doctor may prescribe you traditional drugs like lactulose, milk of magnesia and cremaffin or bisacodyl tablets. You should take plenty of fluids and diet rich in laxatives.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
