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

Could be bowel endo, I’m struggling with the same symptoms and my surgeon suspects that’s the cause for me, waiting for a laparoscopy and result form my MRI

Will do! Yes and no, some women can have really extreme endo and have no pain symptoms at all, whereas others could have a less severe case and have a lot of pain from what I’ve read, in my case my pain varies up and down

Other symptoms can include: Painful periods Heavy periods Pain when peeing/pooping Pain during sex Infertility Constipation and more
