Disturbed gastric flora with constipation is the basic problem in your case.So if we control them your symtoms would settle down by themself.
Our intestine consists of trillions of good bacteria's termed specifically as gut flora. Gut Bacteria help digest and absorb Foods. The most plentiful and important bacteria in the small intestine are the Lactobacillus species.
Lactobacillus helps ferment indigestible carbohydrates. Gut bacteria helps in the production of mucous and digests food properly hence prevent constipation.Toxins produced by food, age poor diet etc are among various factors causing dysbiosis in which the good bacterial colonies get deplete while bad bacteria's over number them. This causes a problem with digestion like constipation pain abdomen, bloating etc.
