Yes, IBS-C (irritable bowel syndrome with constipation) may sometimes cause a burning sensation or discomfort in the abdomen due to trapped gas, acid reflux, or slow bowel movements. Treatment should focus on dietary changes, such as increasing fibre intake, staying hydrated, and managing stress. If lifestyle changes are not enough, your doctor may recommend laxatives, such as Ispaghula husk, Polyethylene glycol, or Lactitol, to relieve constipation and abdominal discomfort.

To improve digestion, eat more fibre from fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and drink plenty of water every day. Have smaller, more frequent meals and try gentle daily exercise to help your digestive system function better.

Lactifiber Granules can be taken either before or after meals, though taking them after meals may help reduce stomach discomfort and improve effectiveness. Mix the granules with a full glass of water or juice, stir well until fully dissolved, and drink immediately. Ensure you drink plenty of fluids throughout the day to prevent constipation.
