Hi
No need to be scared. Have something that's easily digestible for now like curd rice, idli along with fibre rich food like leafy vegetables, cucumber, banana. Avoid high protein and fried food for the time being.
Try to walk for 10 min after a meal.

Possible Reasons for Your Symptoms
Functional bowel issue (IBS â Irritable Bowel Syndrome): Can cause alternating constipation and loose stools, bloating, feeling of incomplete evacuation.
Diet-related changes: A sudden shift to high-fiber foods (like millets and green vegetables) can sometimes cause excess gas, bloating, or irregular motions until your gut adjusts.
Constipation with overflow diarrhea: If stools are hard to pass, liquid stool may leak around them.
Food intolerance (e.g., lactose, gluten, FODMAPs): Can cause bloating and loose stool.
Warning signs to watch for ("Red flags")
Blood in stool or black/tarry stools,Unexplained weight loss,Persistent vomiting,Severe abdominal pain or distension
What you can try now
Hydration: Drink at least 2â3 L water daily.
Balanced diet: Too much fiber suddenly can worsen bloating. Add rice/wheat slowly back in small amounts.
Avoid gas-forming foods: Excessive millets, cabbage, onion, beans, carbonated drinks.
Regular routine: Try fixed meal times and daily walking/exercise.
Check thyroid: Since constipation and bloating can be linked.
Next Step
Since this has been ongoing for 4 weeks, itâs best to:
Get basic tests: CBC, thyroid function, stool routine, ultrasound abdomen
If symptoms persist or worsen, a gastroenterology consult and possibly colonoscopy may be needed to rule out structural issues.

Though u follow a strict diet, following a good diet refers to having a balanced diet with all necessary nutrients in a proportioned manner i.e, look into the calorie intake.
Try to add more fiber rich foods like beans, pears, almonds, peas. Though millets give u the feeling of satiety, u need to adjust other carbs, proteins for a proper bowel movement. Take plenty of water, try to drink warm water after u wake up, as it helps in ur bowel movements. Also look into other nutrients and take supplements, as u r following a diet

Dont be scared..It is a case of irritable bowel syndrome.. It can be due to nerve signal coordination between brain and gut, food habits, stress, and genetic problem
Next Steps
First of all please find which type of food causes such problem... some cruciferous vegetables cause such problem.. avoid stress and tension... take meditation and drink plenty of fluids.. dont take too much time in the toilet... Do conservative treatment for 1 week, then report after 1 week

Hello, I understand your concern. Based on the history you’ve shared, your symptoms of bloating, altered bowel habits (constipation with occasional loose stools), and feeling of incomplete evacuation can be due to several reasons such as:
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) – common cause of alternating constipation and loose stools, often worsened by stress or dietary changes.
Dietary factors – sudden shift to only millets and green vegetables may sometimes increase bloating or gas.
And various other causes can be the reason of such symptoms.
To reach to any diagnosis, we would need to get some blood tests done and stool tests too.
Please get in touch and book a consultation through practo and i can help you further.
Next Steps
