Suggest Treatment For Constipation, Bloating And Sore Tummy

Have developed constipation over the past 8 weeks with bloating, being sick and a really sore tummy. Visited my doc and she says it is probably due to taking all of my codeine tabs and they are affecting my gut! She has sent away blood samples to rule out IBS. Blood tests came back that gut was not inflamed but I seem to have too much iron in my blood! I had more bloods taken last week and being tested for B12 and Thyroid and something else. In between times I have developed a not so nice taste in my mouth and I am smelling a horribly smell may of rotting food/flesh (not nice)

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if it is the constipation due to the codeine tablet then better to stop this and drink more water have some fiber diet, keep the regular habit of defecation and no need to worry about this constipation is not the disease unless it is being proved hope this information helps.
