I have this problem too.. Most likely you are suffering from IBS or Chronic Constipation with no relief.. I understand completely how you feel with the bloated stomach, irritable mood swings, and discomfort 24/7 and weight gain.. What I do is use Mira Lax every morning, I mix it in with my coffee- you can buy it over the counter at your local drug store, Usually it works within 2 to 3 days.. I also take a medication given to me by my doctor called Amitiza- this will work, however Ive noticed that the bloating is still present.. Good Luck to you! Hopefully you find relief soon!Health Question & Answer

I have the same problem.. You probably have what is known as I..B..S (irritable bowel syndrome).. This will cause you to get backed up and have irregular bowel movements.. Diet is key for this.. Watch what you eat.. Caffeine, spicy foods and dairy can set it off.. Make sure you drink plenty of water to clean your bowels out.. Exercise is also helpful to move stuff around in there..
