What Causes Acid Reflux, Chronic Constipation And Irritable Bowel Syndrome?

I have a lot of problems with my gastro system , acid reflux , chronic constipation , irritable bowel syndrome .I have been on a number of medications now for a long time . I have had 2 surgeries for bowel obstructions within 6 months of each other . Lately I cannot eat without bloating immediately after I eat , even the least little bit . The only narcotics I am on is Percocet for 2 back surgeries one back surgery 9 hours the other 4 hours . I do know I develop scar tissue easily . I have been to the emergency room several times , some of the obstructions they were able to use an NG tube to quiet things down to avoid surgery . Any suggestions as why the constant bloating and did I forget to mention pain ?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

The symptoms seem to be related to bloating. The bloating itself can be related to many medical conditions such as constipation or the use of Percocet.

I recommend using Simethicone medication three times a day to relieve the bloating.

I also suggest using daily probiotics. I suggest to use a fiber-rich diet and drink liquids.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
