Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of constipation and flatulence which seems to be due to insufficient fibres in diet and due to electrolyte imbalance in body. Need not to worry. Condition can be corrected by two ways, first by changing lifestyle and secondly by starting medicine. I would suggest you to avoid spicy and heavy meals especially at night. Take a little walk after every meal. Eat small and frequent meals. Avoid aerated and beverages containing caffeine . Consult gastroenterologist for proper examination. Doctor may order endoscopy of esophagus , X-ray of upper respiratory tract and ambulatory acid test .
Doctor may prescribe antacid like gelusil , H2 blockers like ranitidine and proton pump inhibitor to correct the condition .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
