Brief Answer:
Please provide more information and consider healthy dietary changes

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
I share your concern
Constipation can be caused by decreased motility of intestine which can be related of faulty dietary habits or habitual constipation

Here I would like further information to guide you better like
Since hoe long you have this problem?
Is it a constant issue or intermittent?
Do you feel abdominal pain or bloating during constipation?

Meanwhile please follow these guidelines
Have lots of dietary fibers like ishabgol husk with warm water at bed time
Lots of fresh fruits and vegetables
Have plenty of fluids
You should take lukewarm water with lemon juice after getting up every morning as much you can take.
Syrup lactulose or liquid paraffin is advisable in case of prolonged constipation for a week with healthy dietary changes.
Please revert back to me with these details so that I will be able to tell you more accurately
Best wishes

Thank you for your reply. I am having this problem since last weekend as i had outside food on saturday as well as sunday. It is not a problem for me on a regular basis as inusually prefer home made food. But if i eat outside food for 1-2 days i suffer from constipation. And them it takes time and medicines to get cured. I dont feel abdominal pain usually. I usually intake normal room temperature water (2 glasses) after waking up. That is without lemon juice. I take liver tonic on regular basis. But then too i get into trouble sometimes.
Please advice
