Hello,
You may need to use some fiber daily to help the bowel movement and release some of your symptoms. You can take fiber supplements in pharmacy and use them daily. Taking prunes and pears might be also a good source of fiber and fruit and vegetable in general are quite rich with fiber. Avoiding bread and pasta might help with the symptoms as well.
I hope this is helpful and answers to your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Antoneta Zotaj, General & Family Physician
