I am 70 years old diabetic with hypertension and heart disease since last several years I take medication for these diseases. From last few weeks I am suffering from acute constipation and gas/bloating. I took pan d but no relief found. I take softovac sf for constipation, stool passes two to three times a day but severe gas/ bloating arises after passing stool. Whole day I feel uncomfortable from gas/bloating. Please advice.

Diabetes can cause weakening of intestinal motility thus causing constipation and abdomen bloating. You can take rabep-l if pan-d is not working. Also take small frequent meals. Avoid water with food. Drink water atleast 30 min after food intake.
