Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Constipation Along With Intestinal Bloating?
What do you think these symptoms might be? Constipated & bloating for about 5 to 6 days at a time, seems like my digestive system has to get full before other food pushes it out, then after most comes out I have diarrhea and/or Sharting going on(which is where I think it is going to be a fart but it is basically diarrhea)
This may be related to IBS and chronic constipation (spasms). That is particularly true when you consume foods like nuts or popcorn that would trigger spasms of the bowel. I suggest running colonoscopy to exclude organic problems first. With regards to finding blood floating in the toilet after you pass the motion, that would be related to possible: - fissures due to chronic constipation - hemorrhoids
In both cases, you need to take measures to reduce constipation that would trigger such problems: - do more physical activity - increase water consumption - take more foods high in fiber content - fiber supplements can help - can use laxatives once in a while to improve the symptoms
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
