Hello,
I can understand your concern for GI symptoms.
1) You might have symptoms of
irritable bowel syndrome. This is a physiological condition in which patient develop indigestion along with either diarrhea or
constipation from variety of causes.
2) Lack of digestive intestinal enzymes is one of such cause.
3) Before concluding IBS and start treatment for symptoms for it, it is necessary to rule out other conditions which can produce similar symptoms and
inflammatory bowel disease is one of it.
4) To rule out other diseases, you must undergo
colonoscopy, USG abdomen, stool examination.
5) Once irritable bowel syndrome is confirmed, you can take intestinal
digestive enzyme supplementation medication, anti-colic group of medication for pain and stool softener/laxative to relieve constipation episodes.
Hope I answered your query. If you have any further doubts, I would be happy to help you. Have a good day!
Regards,
