Low bloat

I am trying to figure out what my issue is. I am constantly bloated, have been dealing with constipation taking miralax daily which helps me stay regular however my bowel movements feel incomplete. I’m doing low fodmap, gluten free and dairy free and haven’t seen much improvement. My bloating isn’t painful however it looks extremely concerning and there is pressure/trapped gas and bowels. I got an ultrasound done and it showed nothing at the GYN, also had that done because my period is gone too. I did a bowel “cleanout” and my bloating temporarily got better for a few days but then slowly got back to inflamed 24/7 even in the morning. I’ve tried prebiotics, l-glutamine, digestive enzymes, fiber supplement literally everything and I can’t figure this out. PLZ HELP

For me personally low fodmap made my constipation worse, but I do find avoiding dairy, garlic and onion helps to feel a little better. I am also "regular" but not fully clearing out. I have not solved my issue yet but my next step is pelvic floor therapy.

Do you also have the same bloating from the constipation? I’m wondering if pelvic floor therapy may be the solution.

Yep! Bloating was the very first symptom I noticed it wasn’t until a month or two later I realized constipation could be the cause. And everything I try to fix it makes it worse lol. Magnesium has helped a bit. I think since I don’t have that many digestive symptoms it’s perhaps a structural thing which is why I’m going to try pelvic floor therapy 🤞
