Hello,
It could be due to gastritis or irritable bowel disease.
As first-line management, you can take laxatives like lactulose for symptomatic relief.
Include more fiber-rich foods in the diet.
If symptoms persist better to consult a gastroenterologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
