A member asked:
I bloat everytime i eat anything, i bloat more when i drink milk or eat complex carbs. i'm also constipated.

ConstipationPrimary?: If intestinal emptying is inhibited, then swallowed air, liquids & solids have no place to go; consistent with reported bloating. Thus stay hydrated, stop intake of solids, resolve constipation, e.g. multiple dried prunes/day (mild) to full bottle citrate of magnesia over crushed ice, sipped intake over ~30 min. (usually effective within ~6 hrs). Prunes safe; best avoid CoM more than ~every 6 mos.
