“Bloating, constipated pain around the belly button? ”
My stomach is bloated above and below the belly button. Feels stiff and constipated. I do have bowel movements every morning. I started taking Miralax last night and a probiotic pill. Woke up and still feel discomfort around my belly button. Not sure what to take next, maybe Pepto bismal? I have some antacid pills omemprazole. I also have some ulcer medicine from a year ago lazanoprole or something. What can I take to ease the pain/bloating/discomfort?

If you have not had a bowel movement yet, the Miralax may not have worked yet. If you had a bowel movement and you still have to bloat, try the omeprazole. If the omeprazole does not help within 2 days, then you should see your doctor. You may need to have some blood and/or x-ray tests done.
I cannot tell what this is based on the information provided. It is not constipation if you are having daily bowel movements. Don't use probiotics unless you gain a clear benefit. Best thing to do is have a physical exam to try to make a diagnosis. First get a diagnosis, then can offer treatment.
