To the question "How to treat decreased bowel motility?", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Your symptoms describe very well. You may have a stomach or colon disease, such as gastritis or ulcerative colitis. To properly diagnose the disease, you should see your doctor directly to order some tests and endoscopy of the upper and lower digestive tract.
Besides, you should abstain from eating sour, spicy, greasy foods, foods, and fruits that are too sweet. You should not drink a lot of alcohol or tobacco. You should reduce stress, eat right meals, eat lots of vegetables, fruits, fish-plant protein, drink lots of water, exercise at least 30 minutes/day is also good for digestive diseases.
