Suggest Remedy For Recurrent Constipation

Take tablet chlordiazepoxide with clidinium
Detailed Answer:
Hello! Thanks for putting your query in HCM. I am a Gastroenterologist.
Your description of your symptoms suggest that you are having IBS-C (Irritable bowel syndrome, constipation predominant) since there is no alarming feature and colonoscopy is normal. Along with reflux disease for which you are already taking treatment
For regularizing bowel habits I will suggest you the following:
1. Take tablet chlordiazepoxide with clidinium, it comes in combination. You have to get prescription from your doctor. To be taken thrice a day, 1/2 hr before meals. This I found very useful in my patients
2. A course of probiotic
3. Fibre has to be increased along with lots of fluids
For bloating:
1. Avoid food that increase gas like beans, pulses, cabbage, peas
2. Avid food that increase acid productions like tea, coffee, citrus and spicy and fatty food
3. See if milk make your symptoms worse then please avoid it
4. Take capsule containing simethicone
I hope I have answered your query and this will help you . Wish you a good health


Thin bowel does not mean any twist or blockage
Detailed Answer:
Welcome back
Thin bowel does not mean any twist or blockage at all. The diameter and consistency of stool depend on the diet you have taken. More fibre will make stool bulky
Moreover dont forget your colonoscopy showed only presence of diverticulae
Hope I addressed all the concerns you have. Let me know if you have further questions. I will be more than happy to clear any doubts. Wish you a good health
