You’re already taking great steps by having chia seeds, curd, salads, and enough water—these support gut health well. To improve further, add prebiotics like garlic, onions, oats, and bananas, and consider a probiotic supplement with strains like Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. Please reduce sugar, ultra-processed foods, and late-night eating, and consult a gastroenterologist if symptoms persist despite lifestyle changes.

You’re on the right track with chia seeds, curd, salads, and good water intake, but gut healing takes more than just a few healthy habits. Add prebiotic-rich foods (like bananas, oats, garlic), avoid processed and fried foods, and eat warm, home-cooked meals at regular times. For deeper repair, consider a quality probiotic supplement and consult a gastroenterologist if symptoms persist despite these changes.

See you are on right track with regarding to diet so now you may go for some extra steps like exercises. Make it a habit for and you will see the difference in 2 weeks. Start from simple stretching exercises and jogging.

Before all I would like to know about your family history for such, any health issue and have you consulted Gansto regarding this ?

Constipation despite a seemingly good intake of fiber from chia seeds, curds, and salads, along with ample water, can be frustrating. Let’s tackle this systematically. Firstly, ensure you’re getting enough total fiber intake from all sources; the recommendation is about 25-30 grams per day, but sometimes sources like salads and curds might not provide sufficient bulking fiber. You might consider whole grains, legumes, fruits like pears or apples (with the skin), or adding more vegetables to ensure a mix of soluble and insoluble fibers. Regular physical activity can also stimulate intestinal activity—aim for at least 30 minutes most days, as even walking can help. Sometimes, stress can impact bowel movements, so implementing stress-relieving practices like yoga, meditation, or deep-breathing exercises could be beneficial. Another aspect to consider is gut microbiota; although you’re taking curd, a varied probiotic intake can be beneficial. You might try fermented foods like kefir, sauerkraut, or kimchi to diversify the gut flora. If these don’t bring relief, consider reviewing any medications or supplements with your doctor, as some can contribute to constipation. Also, keeping a stool diary can help identify patterns or triggers. If constipation persists beyond lifestyle adjustments, consider seeing a healthcare professional to rule out underlying issues like hypothyroidism, IBS, or other gastrointestinal conditions. This ensures they can assess for any need for specific medical treatments or interventions.
