A member asked:

19 year old female. stopped eating dairy for 4 years, reintroduced it and a month later had a nausea, constipation, bloating reaction. that reaction subsided but i am still chronically constipated with severe bloating? proscribed xifaxan so far?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Are you certain you're not intolerant of dairy products ( lactose intolerance) &should take lactaid if you're eating dairy? Also avoid gassy foods& beverages, drink lots of fluids & get regular exercise if not lactose intolerant. If you have no real urge for BMs, try taking a bowel stimulant daily like SenokotS per instructions. I thought Xifaxin was to prevent diarrhea in irritable bowel syndrome
