Detailed Answer:
Thank you for follow up,
Severe constipation is side effect of medicines he is on.
Only thing that can be done is to increase the doses of cremaffin plus to 45ml.
Even if it does not help then P.c enema could be taken after every 2-3days to evacuate the bowel.
Give him a lots of isabhghul husk 30 mg per day.
What doses of cremaffin.is he using?

Right sir cremafin he is not using frequently but mainly using sodium picosulphate 10 mg tablet almost every alternate day and it works too most of the time along with that he sometimes have one table spoon of cremafin...
Isabgol husk doesn't work for him as he tried it lot of times we also avoid to use much of laxatives...can some diet modification be made for resolving this issue...
Brief Answer:
Follow up.
Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
Sorry Amandeep diet modification would help only in conjugation with laxatives(Diet high in fibers relieves constipation;Isabghul itself is 100% fiber,When its not helping how would diet help.
His constipation is a side effect of antipyscotic medications...Why are you avoiding laxatives?
Any specific reason because long term constipation could cause serious problems like hemorrhoids fissure etc.
Waiting for reply.
Thanks!
