1. Why gluten free? Allergy?
2. Have you tried fennel tea? Crush up some fennel seeds and steep in a mug of boiling water. It's amazingly great for bloating.
3. Are you on a fibre supplement? That would immensely help with the constipation. If you are one one, you might consider switching. Some of the favourites around here are Heather's Acacia, Equalactin, Benefiber, ... I can't stress enough how critical a fibre supplement is. It could make all the difference for you.
4. IF you're doing all of the above and are still constipated, I would consider increasing the amount of insolubles in your diet (slowly and carefully). You may just need to find the soluble/insoluble balance that your body tolerates best.
