What Causes Bloating And Irregular Bowel Movements?

Hi, I’ve been recently suffering heavy bloatedness. My stomach feels tender and sometimes hurts near the pelvic or bellybutton area. I get constipated but empty my bowls 2/3 time a day, sometimes it’s slightly looser, they are yellow and different to my normal stools.

My throat feels dry, and I get acid relux …I recently feel flem in my throat and burning feeling. I’ve suffered a dry cough for 4 weeks now…got better and now it’s back

I wake up early in the morning, feel tired at work and lethargic.

Please can you help me, I’m getting so concerned….i just want to get back to normal.
