Suggest Treatment For Constipation And Acidity

Hello Doctor,
My problem is related to both constipation and gastric. Its been 4 years now that i am facing constipation problem. Sometimes, the constipation last for a week and even more. Therefore; I usually take medicine named Decoulax. Without it I cannot get rid of constipation.
Gastric makes my stomach increase and then, i gain lots of unnecessary weight. After I have my lunch, my stomach increases and gas is formed inside. Is it the food I eat is causing these problem?
Could you please give me some suggestion on it?
I would be so thankful to you... Please help me...

Hello,
I can understand your concern towards your symptoms.
1) Ye these symptoms are partly due to type of food you eat. And partly due to inadequate digestion by your intestines. This condition is known as irritable bowel syndrome (constipation type)
2) Use of intestinal digestive enzyme supplementation would help to improve digestion.
3) Use of stool softener or laxative would help to relieve from constipation. In case of severe constipation, use of enema is recommended.
4) False feeling of gaining unnecessary weight due to increased size of abdomen secondary to indigestion.
5) I also recommend you to undergo colonoscopy to find out reason for such severe constipation.

Hope I answered your query. If you have further query I would be happy to help you.
Have a good day!
