Suggest Remedy For Bloating And Discomfort In Intestinal Tract

we live in Washington State and our air quality is bad right now. I am not sure if there is a connection to symptoms my 87 year old mother is having these past few days. She has bloating and discomfort in her intestinal tract. She also has a dry mouth. For the past week we have introduced Activia yogurt but taken butter, other dairy out of her diet. What can I give her for relief?
