Brief Answer:
As detailed below.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your feedback.
Noted that you noticed bloating a month ago - no meds - constipation at times - no air in intestine - no stress/anxiety.
This may be due to altered intestinal flora as we call.
Please try the following and let me know the results:
- First of all send the stool sample for lab test.
- Blood - CBC, Sugar, liver functions, thyroid function tests.
- Activated charcoal tablets.
- Probiotics.
- Try to identify the foods and beverages that instigate or enhance the problem and stop them altogether.
- Small frequent feeds.
- And any further treatment as per the reports of the tests.
- Mild laxative to avoid constipation.

I hope, this may solve your problems.
