A doctor has provided 1 answer
Contipation: Constipation can be one cause of bloating or stomach bulge. The actual definition of constipation is hard stools not the frequency. You can be constipated but have daily bowel movements. The best daily treatment for hard stools (constipation) is fluid intake with good fiber. Fiber can be whole foods or tablets with lots of water to soften the stool.
