Hello,
You may also be having constipation which may cause bloating and pain.
You may try Movicol 2 sachets a day till you get regular easy stools and then one a day for another 2-3 weeks. Try to eat food high in fiber, drink plenty of water and stay active.
If you are not better with this treatment or you notice any worsening then you will need to see your doctor again.
I hope this answers your query. I remain at your disposal in case further medical assistance is needed.
Regards,
