Hey. I have been experiencing serve constipation for a few months now. I went for an X-Ray and found out I have a faecal overload. I just have really bad bloating and excessive gas that has a really bad odor. I have on and off acid reflux as well. Just recently I started experiencing some really bad cramping.

hi,
this may be due to low peristalsis.
pre/probiotics may help you improve the motions.
