Bloating: It sounds like your bloating may be related to constipation. The bloating will not go away until the constipation is relieved. I would start with a high fiber diet, 64 ounces of water a day, regular exercise and possibly a stool softener medicine. If not resolving, their could be another medical cause for your constipation and bloating and further testing could be needed.
