Suggest Treatment For Constipation

Hi I have a bowel habit change. I have gone from being frequent to struggling to go. When I do go, it is very offensive. I have terrible offensive and embarrassing wind also. I sometimes get pain in my right side and at times have back pain. Also my kidney function test is 3.1. I was told this is borderline and I need to talk to my GP. Could this be connected. I am too embarrassed to go to my GP. I am 51. I drink plenty and eat well. kind regards. Sally
