Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain the symptoms of constipation that has not gone in 2 weeks along with hard and bloated stomach can be due to causes like sudden changes in dietary habits, excess intake of antacids, irritable bowel syndrome, excess intake of dairy,eating disorders, lack of appropriate physical activity, side effects of medicines, Hypothyroidism etc..
First of all you should start taking a high fibre diet, incorporate more of fruits, green leafy vegetables and salads in diet..
Drink plenty of water..
You should always take walk after meals and follow daily workout regime.
I would suggest you to consult a Gastroenterologist and get evaluated and he can advise you get investigations done like Colonoscopy, Barium swallow, hormonal assy etc to confirm the cause..
Treatment of the cause can relieve the symptoms..
You can also be advised to take laxativs like Polyethylene glycol [Miralax], castor oil also acts as a lubricant and laxative..
You can also be advised to take Psyllium husk or Lactulose..
You can also be advised medications like Lubiprostone or Linaclotide..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
