Constipation with bloating and reflux is often due to gut motility issues and diet. Lactulose may take some time, but if not effective, you may need a stronger osmotic laxative or combination therapy
Next Steps
Increase water intake, add fiber (fruits, salads, isabgol), and stay physically active.. Consult a doctor for adjustment of laxatives if symptoms persist.
Health Tips
Avoid straining, spicy/oily food, and maintain regular bowel habits.
