Suggest Treatment For Constipation On Taking Gabapentin And Tramadol

I take both Gabapentin and Tramadol for pains in my legs. This causes my bowel movements to occur approximately every two days. After a bowel movement, I am extremely nauseated in my stomach for hours thereafter. I do not have symptoms for either IBS or IBS C. What should I do, or take. I have informed my doctor.
