Brief Answer:
Take medicines for a few days and you should be fine.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
It is fairly normal to have constipation sometimes.
It usually has to do with your diet change.
Burning might be due to the acidic or alkaline content of the effluent. Do not worry about that. As long as there is no pain in passing gas or bleeding from the anus it is ok. If any of these symptoms are there then do let me know.
You have been suffering from increased acid secretion from your stomach and an upset large intestine.
I usually advice my patients Tab Pantoprazole 40mg or Cap Omeprazole 20 mg for the acid and Syrup Lactulose 20 to 30 ml at night for the constipation. If that does not help one can take Tab Dulcolax after dinner for 3 to 4 days and it would be fine then.
Do let me know if there are other queries that I can help you with.
Take care.
