Common Questions and Answers about What causes gas and constipation

gas

Avatar m tn Causes of bad gas smell. Is it caused by food sources and what are the possible remedies. Am currently taking Citrucil twice daily.
Avatar m tn I suffer from CONSTIPATION and FLUID that is produced because of COLON IRRITATION and GAS BLOATING. The constipation PLUGS up my colon (like a blockage preventing ability to pass gas) and then after enough time I puke (rare these days) or start to burp up the foods I ate earlier (not rare). So I can have constipation and liquid poop at the same time. High fiber foods help constipation but cause more irritation. So we fix one problem and start another.
Avatar m tn Give it a few days to return to normal. I always take about a week or so. Even though you went, there's still more in there, I'm sure, since you haven't gone in a little while.
Avatar f tn I've ate everthing possible tthat causes gas and now I have pain in my lower ribcage and alot of constipation. What over the counter medication sjhould I take? Please help.
Avatar f tn Yes, you can get diarrhea and constipation and gas. Take a look at the health pages (top right) and there is a description of types of cysts and their symptoms. I do hope you are able to find some way of getting your surgery.
Avatar f tn Never strain on the toilet, you should push gently and rock your pelvis back and forth to help stimulate your bowels , thats what we get our patients to do. you should always try natural remedies first as opposed to jumping straight into medication as your body becomes reliant on that quickly.
Avatar f tn What are some of the complications from colon resection surgery? My colon was resected in 2/07, and had a temporary colostomy put in, they also removed 10" of jejunum in the small intestine. The colostomy was reversed in 4/07, with a total of 28 inches of decending colon removed between the two surgeries. My colon was slow to wake up after both surgeries. Ever since the takedown surgery I've had ongoing problems with constipation, gas, and bloating.
Avatar n tn I use Miralax and also Colace sometimes when its really bad I use the both together also they say apple juice helps but I was told by my gi that it causes more gas which can upset the stomach more.
Avatar f tn In the last year i have had a few episodes of constipation and have found that when i do any food that has been eaten that day causes me to be sick and the food is undigested and is very hard to bring up as its all merged together with no liquid to help it. This only happens when im constipated, as soon as im back to having diarrhea it doesnt happen although i do have nausea on most occasions.

6543835 tn?1468844035 Other problems are stomach bloating and foul smelling gas (which is usually when I know one of my giant bowel movements is on its way the next day or possibly two). And of course that is embarrassing and causes anxiety which im sure makes the constipation even worse. I've tried adding a fiber supplement, but that didnt really help, nor could I take the recommended amount because it was causing such awful smelling gas and not producing bowel movements.

Anyone ever experience this because of constipation?? Thanks!
Avatar f tn I need help with treating this as the excessive gas is really embarrassing. The list of symptoms are constipation, rumbles in stomach, excessive gas and bloating. An x-ray has proved my condition but the problem is that i need help with the treatment.

Avatar f tn I am 38 and 4wks w/ 1st baby, besides breast tenderness, the first main symptom has been constipation and gas... I usually fall into the loose stool/poo many times a day/have recurrent diarrhea category. Sorry if tmi, lol, but is anyone else experiencing this? Any suggestions? Theories as to why? I get lots of fiber from green drinks and oatmeal already.
Avatar m tn Amoebiasis is another infection, which can cause similar symptoms. Other common causes are constipation and indigestion. Some inflammatory bowel diseases like diverticulitis and crohn’s disease can produce similar symptoms. Here the walls of the intestines are swollen. You will need to consult your primary care physician, who may run blood, urine and stool tests and may sometimes ask for an ultrasonography to detect the cause for your symptoms. Regards.
