How much gas is normal? Usually symptoms of gas and flatulence are more bothersome than serious. But learn when you should seek help for excessive gas here....

Q: Constipation, Gas, And Bloating

I am a 16 year old male, and for the past two weeks, on and off, I have been experiencing some form of constipation, excessive gas (mostly at night or in the morning), and recently, bloating. My stools will sometimes be round "pellets" for some reason, and it looks like theres mucus in it. (Maybe it's because I have been having sinus drainage in my throat in the last week?) Also, sometimes I will have mild diarrhea, followed by the constipation. However, I am still passing about 3 stools per day, which makes me think it is not constipation, but i cant find a name for it yet. Sometimes I will have a small amount of diarrhea in the morning, then I will pass the round "pellet stools". Sometimes I get stomach cramps while doing so. Does anyone have any ideas? I am taking Prevacid and allegra-d if that matters. Confused

I don't know if I can put a name on it, except for that of just a bit of irregularity. Try including lots of good natural fiber in your diet and avoiding grasy foods to see if that makes a difference. Also getting physical exercise is great therapy for the bowels. Give it a week, and if it is still bothering you, it warrants some investigation.

This is not normal and you should seek advise from a naturopath who can help you with your health problem. I personally have suffered with constipation, bloating, gas , pain, acne and a mountain of other medical problems. I was recommended the program "colonix" by drnatura through a friend of mine and it has helped me tremendously. I also went to seek advice from a naturopath who helped me change my diet as well. Together with the cleanse and the change in eating I can say I am a new and healthier person with none of my previous symptoms. Please keep us up to date on what you have decided to do and how it is working for you. Good Luck.
