What Causes Stomach Bloating?
Question: Bloated, stomach feels full all the time. never feel quite empty after bowel movement and feels like i have to go but do not. History with kidney stones. This has been going on for 7 months.
Brief Answer:
get a colonoscopy done
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
If despite taking fiber supplement and lots of water your symptoms are persistent then in my opinion you should get a colonoscopy done to rule out any growth obstructing the passage, as this is a possibility at your age to cause these symptoms.
If that comes normal then you can take a bowel motility enhancing drug, a prokinetic, like levosulpride to help in better evacuation of bowel.
But do get a colonoscopy first as it will screen your entire colon for presence of any other diseases as well.
Hope i have been helpful.
