What Causes Abdominal Pain, Constipation And Bloating?

I have been having problems with constipation, bloating, and uncomfortableness in my abdomen. I started taking probiotics as soon as they were delivered yesterday about 2:00. Then I took digestive enzymes last night with dinner. Went to bed and all seemed fine. I got up and took a L Glutamine. Within 30 minutes I was having terrible pain and cramps. I have never taken any of these before, but was trying them for my symptoms. I am baffled by this as I have looked up online for any adverse effects. I do not take any kind of prescriptions. I do take a lot of other vitamins and a few over the counter drugs some for constipation and Advil. Any ideas what would have caused the pain? I couldn t even stand up straight and wound up calling in to work.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of abdominal pain, constipation and bloating which can occur due to many reasons and it is extremely important to find out the exact cause. It could be due to inadequate fibers in diet and incomplete and improper digestion of food. Need not to worry. Drink one spoon of honey in warm water daily . This will be really helpful. You should take diet rich in fibers. you should avoid intake of outside food. I would advise you to consult a physician or gastroenterologist and get examination done like complete blood count, stool examination, ultrasound scan of abdomen, colonoscopy. You should start treatment after complete examination. Doctor may prescribe you traditional drugs like milk of magnesia and cremaffin or bisacodyl tablets. You should take plenty of fluids and diet rich in laxatives.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
