What Causes Bloating And Constipation?

As weird as this is to experience, it's even weirder to explain, but lately I having difficulty flatulating and also constipation. I'm really bloated in my lower abdomen, and I was wondering what could be the potential cause of that? I'm 5'4, female, about 130 llbs, exercise daily, and the only medicine I take is Vyvanse.

Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query.
Certain degree of bloating is normal but in case of excessive bloating it may be sign of food allergy, hatal hernia ,IBS or inflammatory bowel diseases. So you should do gastroenterologic work up but first try to change your dietary habits, it means: eat smaller meals but more frequently, avoid fried and spicy food, take menta tea, avoid alcohol and coffee, eat probiotics and milk products, boiled food and vegetables. Also, there are medications such as Flobian,Magnesium oxide or certain laxatives which may relieve such symptoms.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
