Suggest Treatment For Lower Abdomen Discomfort, Acidity And Constipation

I am 54 with an underactive thyroid. For a few weels I have been experiencing discomfort in my lower abdomen-not really a pain-like a grumbling discomfort. I also seem to need to pass a lot of gas. I am also very constipated. I started taking Venlafaxine 150 about 6 weeks ago.
