Hello,
Take more fiber in your diet and plenty of fluids as well. This will help you relieve your constipation, if not you can consult your doctor for a prescription. Avoid foods that are rich in undigestable sugars as these will cause bloating and will make your pain worse.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
