Early morning pain and wind

[Reindeer1]

Hi I was having bad constipation and my GP suggested linseed oil each day and adding oats to my diet. Definitely helped and having daily bowel movements but I still wake up with terrible wind and pain at about 5.00 every morning. Never go to toilet until about 8.00 am. Any suggestions what I can take the ease the early morning pain. Thanks

Hi Max250Could it be that the answer may be to adjust the amount linseed and oats you take? For me I know too much oat intake gives me wind😉

Thanks Linley I was just thinking maybe I am taking too many oats and too much linseed - hopefully it will help if I cut it down from tomorrow

Hi Max250. Do you eat or drink alcohol late at night? If so try not to eat after 7pm . I eat quaker oats every morning. If you cut down like Linley says and still the same I would ask for some tests to be done or be referred to gastroenterologist. Regards Sue

I do eat early and if I have a alcoholic drink it is early as well. Since taking linseed oil and more oats I have been having a movement every morning around 8.00 but I wake up at about5.00 feeling in need to poop so I have about three hours of that feeling. Any thoughts?
