Constipation, Gas, Headache, On Laxatives, Took Fiber And Bacteria

Thanks for posting your query.
Since you have not passed stool for last 5-6 days, it means you are severely constipated. You might need enema once for relieving the tension that you are feeling.
You can take some simple measures in addition to the fibre that you are taking to have relief upto some extent in future-
1. Drink a glass of water before going to toilet. This will help in the increasing the bowel movements as well as compensate for the water loss from body decreasing the dizzyness.
2.Take probiotics- Lactobacillus Acidophillus spores.
3. Take magnesium supplements or magnesium XXXXXXX foods like XXXXXXX leafy vegetables.
4. Engage in regular physical activity. Not getting enough physical activity can lead to constipation.
5. Don't put off the urge. The longer you delay when the urge to have a bowel movement strikes, the more water gets absorbed from stool and the harder it becomes to have a bowel movement.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Regards.
