I have been persistently bloated for three months now. I originally suspected it was a gluten or lactose intolerance however after restricting both from my diet the bloating has persisted. I had been experiencing pains in my lower abdominal area which I attributed to period pain however it had been persisting throughout the entire month. I have today experienced constipation and what seems to be blood surrounding the stool which was uncharacteristically dark as well as bloating and lower abdominal pain today. Unsure wether I need to visit my G.P, go to hospital or wether it is an issue that will resolve itself.
