Some tips
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Please tell me about the stool that you have everyday:
Is it hard or soft?
Is it sticking to the pan or not?
?Did you get tested first to check if you have any medical problems and thus you have irregular bowel timings?
I understand that you want a complete spontaneous bowel movement (CSBM) in the morning before you go out of the house. First, get stool microscopy and hemogram, liver function tests to rule out serious gut issues.
These tips would definitely help you.
1) The bowel movements have to be initiated by the brain. So first train your brain by visiting the loo every morning after / before you brush the teeth or after coffee/breakfast (whatever time you want it to happen)
2) As soon as you get up in the morning, you should have 5 glasses of warm water. One glass of warm water with lime.
3) One fruit by 6 p.m in the evening. It takes 18 hours to digest and help a formed stool. Preferably prunes / apple which are highly fibrous.
4) Do not take the above supplements like Laxiwal unless needed.
5) Use Indian style commode if possible, else your choice.
6) Massage your abdomen every morning as soon as you get up in the direction of the bowels so that the intestines inside are stimulated to pass the stool.
It takes 21 days for you to follow regularly without fail and you will be alright from Day 22 with CSBM.
Hope these things help you.
