I’ve been getting bad stomach pain and bloating and feel like I’ve constantly got i ingestion can this be because of being constipated ??

Hi Amysww , firstly welcome to the Healthy eating forum and really you need to seek medical advice here first.

Inactivity Is one of the biggest causes of constipation, two natural things that are good for constipation are plenty of hot drinks coupled with gentle exercise like walking. So a short walk of 15 mins followed by a couple of mugs of herb tea should help but leave it for an hour or so after eating.

And good luck and I hope that you find the answers you want.

Hi Amysww

How long has the issue been going on?

I've been having pain like this for 3 weeks. After about 5 days, I tried using some milk of magnesia (in low doses it's a stomach settler, and in higher doses it's laxative - I only used a low dose, but I still found that helpful).

After 2 weeks I decided it was time to see a GP, and I'm being treated for a stomach ulcer.

Stick to plain foods, lots of fibre, drink plenty water.

I hope you feel better soon!

I've had something similar? My doctor told me I had inflammation. I've done what she said, my stomach still bothers me. I've requested to be tested for H-pylori which is a bacterial infection. My daughter had it. It's treated with antibiotics.

If this has been going on for more than a few days you need to check with your doctor as constipation is only one of several possible causes.

Constipation in general is helped by having enough fluids, fibre, fat and exercise, but don’t increase fibre from low to high quickly or it can temporarily make things worse.

Best wishes, hope you feel better soon.
