Suggest Remedy For Difficult Bowel Movements Causing Bloating
I am 37 year old female with MS diagnosed 16 years ago. I take 30mg oxybutynin per day for bladder problems. I now seem to be experiencing bowel problems which I have ignored for some time. I can not open my bowels for weeks even when I do its not very much I am very bloated I look pregnant and feel uncomfortable. I was prescribed movicol and lactulose and given enema's but I'm more bloated than ever now.

Hello,
Some advice that I can give to you are:
- Use simethicone medication for the bloating
- Take probiotic supplements
- Limit your intake of carbonated drinks.
- Avoid foods that cause gas, such vegetables in the cabbage family, dried beans, and lentils.
- Eat slowly and avoid drinking through a straw.
- Use lactose-free dairy products
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi
