Unbearable bloating

Hello, I'm just after some advise please for my tummy bloating.

So, a bit of back story last week I had a 10k race and because of possible runners Trots (I've been suffering recently) I took an immodium. This basically stopped me going to the loo for approx 4 days. I took lactolose to get things going but I had the most horrific wind, so stopped.

I'm not going to the loo normally but my tummy is massively bloated and 'm burping a lot. I've infused water with mint and been drinking that since yesterday.

A friend said I may have a candida overgrowth.

Can anyone help, I don't know what to do.

Thanks (no more immodium for me)

Could it be a food intolerance? Might be worth keeping a food diary of what you eat before you run. Apparently lots of runners have trouble with dairy before runs.
