Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
I agree with he doctor that the symptoms seem to be related to constipation.
I suggest using a spasmolytic such as Buscopan.
I also suggest to use daily probiotics and drink a lot of liquids.
I also recommend using Simethicone medications to treat the bloating.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
