Hi Dear,
Understanding your concern. As per your query are having gastritis and severe constipation which could be due to many reasons such as poor absorption and inadequate digestion of food, eating a lot of dairy products and due to irritable bowel syndrome
Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination. Doctor may order colonoscopy or other tests to look for blockages in your colon , barium studies and blood test for hormonal changes. Doctor may prescribe fiber supplement psyllium, calcium polycarbophil , osmotic laxatives , stool softeners. You should start with drinking a lot of water , do light exercises and avoid fatty and heavy meals.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
