I knew a gal around 30, who was my boss when I was young and she ended up in emergency thinking she was having a heart attack and it ended up all she was is severely constipated. No one feels good if they can't eliminate on time and if the stomach has no room to take on more food cus its not passing through the digestive tract, its entirely possible to vomit food back up until the problem has been resolved. Belching also can't pass down and out as gas so it comes up as burps and belches.
You can search the internet for natural remedies to become regular again and get the back up to start flowing again. I would recommend not getting used to stool softeners to use as a habit because it will then be doing the work your body is meant to do naturally and will only compound your problem.
There are foods that can help. Although you may need to use something to help clear things just to begin and then keep using the food item that works best for you. I have not heard of liver salt.
So to start with, you must decide if you want something off the shelves of a pharmacy or from a natural supplement store. There are some laxatives by Natures Way and other brands. Just ask where the products for constipation are found and then decide. Or you can try something like ex-lax or Dulcolax. Many in the past I've tried were like like pieces of chocolate to chew and swallow. Then I have also tried Magnesium citrate, a lemon flavored liquid in a bottle for you to drink as a dose to get things moving. I found those pharmacy type helps to be too harsh for me, getting the opposite effect, eliminating all that was blocked inside and then continueing to have diaarhea conditions after. Every person is different. What I found works best for me now is to eat an entire avocado. I discovered that it is one of the foods highest in fiber, more than beans and other things on lists I looked at on line. So i tried it and it works for me. I also have to remember to drink enough liquids. If not hydrated enough, you can constipate no matter if you are eating pretty good. I don't eat avocado all the time, and don't make it in salads or make guacamole. I just peel and eat it as is if I have a day where I have not had even a small poop. SO its not something I have to do all the time. How ever, I am older and the older we get, constipation is something older people tend to get more often so I average take an avoado once a week even without any symptoms to keep me going regular. I just put in a search for "Foods that make you poop" and got lots of hits. You can do the same. Heres one of those sites:

Once you've gotten rid of the constipation with medicine or herbal remedies that help, experiment with foods. Keep a diary of what you have eaten especially if its something you can eat for a few days in a row and see if your poop changes from soft to harder and smaller like animal pellets. This is when you'll know the food item you are eating doesn't help your body eliminate. Go on to trying the next one. If nothing on one list works, go on to another list with more food idea choices. I wish you well dear.
