Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of constipation. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like antacid medicines containing calcium or aluminum , lot of dairy products in diet , irritable bowel syndrome , not enough water or fiber in your diet, hypothyroidism and it can occur due to hormonal changes as well. Need not to worry. You should eat more fruits and vegetables and drink plenty of water. you should take oral rehydrating solution and diet rich in laxatives. Take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain and take antacid after every meal. I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination . Doctor may order stool test , endoscopy and ultrasound . Doctor may change your medicine or prescribe laxative , H2 blockers or antibiotics.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
