Constipation, Bloating, Wind. Taking Antihistamines. Reason?

Hi
I've had bowel problems for quite some time and putting it just down to me but it does seem to be getting worse i'm verring more to IBS really. Often constipated then go the opposite way, often bloated and sometimes wind that comes when constipated... I am a very active person and don't eat particulary unhealthy but I am on anti histmines so whether this has any effect and have been on them for sometime. I'm not big, pretty slimish really but normally quite tones around my torso but I feel I have excess weight, bloatedness around this area and think this is all connected.

Hi,
I don't think antihistminics have any role in constipation. Allergy to food may cause IBS. An amoebic enteritis,worm infestation or enzymetic (Pancreatic)defficiency can cause it.
BUt before jumping to the conclusion I feel you should get a Gastroenterologists cosultation.
Thank you.
