Went to the gastroenterologist 4 bloating & off & on again constipation she recommended fiber supplements&gentle laxative's. still extremely blotted ?

Things to try: First, make sure you are not taking the laxatives every day, just occasionally as needed. Next, try getting rid of all dairy and adding a probiotic daily. Take the probiotic on an empty stomach for best results. If you are still having problems see your gastroenterologist again.
