Hello dear See constipation can be due to variety of reasons ranging from simple indigestion and irregular bowel movements or ibs or crohn disease Iam suggesting some medications and precautions Please follow them for 1 week Take laxatives and enrich your diet with abundance of fibers Fibres include cucumber, onion and beet root Take fruits like oranges,lemons ,grapes and banana for good digestion Avoid fried and junk food Do vajrasana and surya namaskar for good digestion Take pantop 40 once in case of indigestion Take meftal plus onca a day after meals Avoid refined diet and consume simple food like Dalia and Poha In case of no recovery contact gastroenterologist or laproscopic surgeon for better clarification In that case following tests may be required Endoscopy Colonoscopy Sigmoidoscopy Anoscopy Hopefully you recover soon Regards
Hi Anshu,
🛑Hydration is very important in your case. Drink 3-4 litres per day. Avoid too much tea/coffee, as they can dehydrate. Eat More Fiber Rich Foods 🛑-Oats,Mango,Papaya,Flaxseeds etc
If you need natural remedy: 🛑Isabgol (Psyllium husk): Take 1–2 tsp with warm water or milk at bedtime. Or Ghee with warm milk: 1 tsp ghee in a cup of warm milk before bed can help soften stool.
Or you can take Syrup. Cremaffin 5 ml once at bedtime.
🛑avoid junk foods, maida products.
Feel free to talk I trust this helps Thank you
Hello Anshu, I understand your concern. Here is some diet and medication advice for you -
1. Drink plenty of oral liquids (4-5 Litres/day).
2. Avoid oily, junk & spicy food until your issue resolves.
3. Eat a high fiber diet - include chia seeds, flax seeds, cucumber, tomatoes. Also eat overnight soaked Munakka in the morning after waking up.
4. Medications - Tab. Albendazole 400mg single dose Syp. Lactulose 15-20 ml at night × 7 days.
