Constipation/abdominal bloating

I am a 35 y/o female. 5'7' and 125 pounds. I have also had a 10 pound weight gain over the last year. I do aerobic exercise 3-4 times per week and drink about 60-70 ounces of water per day. I am a very cold natured person.

I have had constipation for many years, but in the last year it has become much worse. I have small, hard stools associated with a feeling of incomplete evacuation and pressure. It is associated with abdominal bloating, gas, and left lower quadrant abdominal cramping. I have used stools softeners and laxatives, as well as Citrucel with no improvement.

Over the last few months, I am also experiencing insomnia. I fall asleep ok, but I only stay asleep for 1-2 hours and then I cannot return to sleep. I have also been retaining fluid and feeling extremely lethargic. My symtpoms are worse at night.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

I took the nux vom 30 one dose daily in the evening for 7 days and the abdominal bloating is much better, but not compltely resolved. The constipation remains a huge problem. I am also still having trouble with insomnia. I am still falling asleep ok around 11pm, but I am waking up around 3am and I cannot get back to sleep. Please let me know if I should continue with the nux vom 30 on the same dosing schedule or try something else.

Thank you!!

I took the nux vom 30 every other day, but unfortunately my symptoms persist. The abdominal bloating has returned. Anytime I eat anything, my stomach bloats. I am still very constipated. I am unable to have a bowel movement unless I use senna tea. I am still falling asleep without a problem, but I am still waking up multiple times throughout the night. I would greatly appreciate any other suggestions.

Thank you!
