Hello Doctor
I have been experiencing digestive symptoms for about 1 month.
- I developed constipation about a month ago. I usually pass stool daily, sometimes 2–3 times a day, but I often feel I need to wait several minutes before passing stool like 10 min.
- The day before yesterday, when I was feeling significant constipation, I had to put pressure while passing stool and noticed a small amount of blood. Since then, there has been no further bleeding.
- I have frequent burping and a feeling of heaviness in the epigastric region throughout the day.
- I experience random brief teasing/twinge-like pains on the right side of my abdomen that come and go.
- I feel nausea too sometimes.
- I also experience low energy, fatigue, and a heavy-headed feeling, which tends to become more noticeable when I have significant gas or abdominal discomfort.
What do I do further?

GI upset is commonly due to lack infection or imbalance of friendly bacteria: both can be treated with a course of Rifaximin.
A few basic investigations like stool exam and ultrasound abdominal shoulder be done
Till then a simple laxative like Isabgulla husk containing powder should help
