How Can I Get My Stomach Under Control And Lose Weight?

I hurt my back 18 months ago and got put on codydramol. The pills gave me constipation and I got a lot of stomach cramping. When I came off it on April this year I had terrible withdrawal so I weaned myself off a bit at a time. Just after I came off it I had food poisoning and since then my bowels and stomach seems to have thrown up their hands in defeat. Whilst I was on codydramol I gained 3 stone in a year and now I cannot lose it, my bowels work a little when I use fybogel and I have painful spots on my back, chest and chin. I am only just out of pain with my back and I am exhausted. How can I get my stomach under control and lose weight. I eat fruit/veg, don t drink, have 1 coffe a day and no processed food but nothing helps

Hello,

Yes, the tablet which your taking may cause constipation.

Use tablet pantoprazole. Take high fibre diet and do regular exercise.

Avoid spicy food and alcohol avoid smoking and caffeine drinks.

Drink plenty of water. If symptoms not improved you may use syrp. lactulose.
