Suggest Treatment For Chronic Constipation
Good evening, On more than one occasion, I ve been physically sick from being unable to have bowel movements. I don t seem to go, unless I eat laxatives. it s about every 7-10 days between going. Allot of times I feel my food sits at the top of my stomach and I look very bloated all the time. We eat very well (we ve been doing South Beach program since 1/5/15) and I haven t gotten any better. I m not sure who to go see in order to have my stomach, intestines, and gallbladder check out. Who do you recommend?
