Question: severe constipation and painful bloating is increasing my back pain. i am being treated by a chiro for facet syndrome - first time yesterday. i just feel that if i could deal with my gut the treatment would go a lot better.
Brief Answer:
Bloating relief-avoid constipation/empty bowels
Detailed Answer:
Hi my dear,
The problem to bloated gut is related to constipation. The goal is to make you empty your bowel. Thus, you should:
- continue drinking more water
- do not eat/drink foods/liquids too fast; take it slowly to avoid digesting too much air
- take laxative candies every 3 hours. You can also use Senna pills twice daily.
- take lactulose to soften your stool
- take simethicone (gas-relieving drug)
- I also suggest taking ginger/peppermint tea
- take also probiotics twice daily
- try to keep walking to help gas-relief
If you won't be improved within a couple of days, should consult GI specialist.
Wish you fast recovery!
