Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
You are reporting to have bowel movements once per 3- 4 days.
Normally you should have one bowel movement in 24-48 hour.
This is why your situation is called constipation.
Otherwise if you have had this frequency of bowel movement always and your stools are not hard than it is normal to you.
At this situation I would recommend to change lifestyle like :
- increase physical activity
- eat fruits and vegetables reached in fibers
- take plenty of water
- use olive oil, prune and kiwi.
Hope it was helpful to you!

Detailed Answer:
Hi back,
You are reporting to use rice, chicken and sandwich. All these products cause constipation especially rice and sandwich.
To my opinion you should start to use every day soup with vegetables or cereals. It will help to have normal bowel movement.
With regards to fatty foods and oily foods you should avoid them, especially if you have hiatal hernia.
Hope it was helpful to you!
