Brief Answer:
Please following advice...
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you using HCM.
I read at your girlfriend medical history. She is suffering from constipation for over a week.
1. If she has moderate to severe abdominal pain associated with severe constipation than you should go to ER to rule out serious issues like ileus.
2. If not, than I recommend following advice for a couple of days:
- use plenty of water 2-3 lit per day
- use olive oil 3 teaspoons per day
- use lactulose 30 cc three times per day
- stay on toilet up to 20-30 minutes
- increase physical activity
- continue using enema and suppositories.
- use fiber packs 2-3 packs per day.
Wish her fast recovery.
