Bloating/constip: Hi there! Diet first change: less milk, citrus and acidic products, more water (48 ops/d). Prunes/stewed in jar are best. whole grains and less starches, more fruits/vegs. Mirilax at night until constipation clears. (OTC). Zantac OTC or omeprazole 20 mg po q d can be taken for gastritis associated with constipation un to the transverse colon high.

Bloating: There can be several reasons for that. Some people may be swallowing air, constipation,. heartburn,. irritable bowel syndrome,. intolerance to dairy products or other food items., eating too fast. weight gain,. overgrowth of bacteria in the small bowel. ,hormonal flux (especially PMS for women). giardiasis (intestinal parasites). inflammatory bowel disease.
