What Causes Intestinal Bloating After Treatment Of Constipation?
I was extremely constipated and I just finished flushing a lot of it out thanks to a prescription an er doctor gave me. My stomach had been really bloated and it s gone down a little, but I was wondering how long it will take my stomach to fully return to normal?
A certain degree of bloating is normal but in case of excessive bloating, it may be a sign of food allergy, hiatal hernia, IBS or inflammatory bowel diseases. So you should do gastroenterology work up but first, try to change your dietary habits, it means: eat smaller meals but more frequently, avoid fried and spicy food, take menta tea, avoid alcohol and coffee, eat probiotics and milk products, boiled food and vegetables. Also, there are medications such as Flobian, Magnesium oxide or certain Laxatives which may relieve such symptoms of this continue. If there is no improvement on these measures, you should consider doing diagnostic tests such as colonoscopy, anal sphincter manometry and food allergy testing.
