Suggest Treatment For Lack Of Bowel Movement And Broken Teeth When Undergoing Stress
Question: my boyfriend hasn't had a bowel movement since he came home last Friday. He also has had 3 teeth just break off in the past 2 wks. We are on a high fiber diet, mostly salads topped w/ chicken, steak or a burger. We drink warm lemon water w/ sliced ginger on most mornings and evenings. He has been under a lot of stress after losing his dad, the business crumbling because of dad's wife not paying bills. He has racked up his credit card trying to save the business. He also drinks bourbon every night. I read the Irritable bowel syndrome notes on webmd. Today he tried a suppository with no results. He will not let me take him to the ER. Please tell me what to do. Can we try another suppository? Does his teeth breaking off have a connection to all this. His breath smells like fecal matter also.

I warmly Welcome you!
Thanks for consulting me at virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your boyfriend's health worries. Being his physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of his medical concerns.
He has got slowed bowel movements due to anxiety and it happens as an aftershock of some trauma as he is suffering from his dad's death. But, don't worry, it will settle down soon.
Try meditation, make him happy by taking him to the places he loves to. It will help changing his mind and will make him normal in no time. He needs sympathy and help, more than ever before.
Give him syrup Lactulose per oral 4 TSF at night.
Pasteurized Prune juice, 1 glass twice daily per oral.
Karu syrup twice daily.
Say him to use 2 adult glycerin suppositories 4 times a day until feces is normally coming out.
Kleen enema once every 2nd day. In total 3 enemas can be done only.
Kleen enema is to be used if suppositories doesn't work well.
His mouth breath is due to his medical condition. Give him Pedialyte to drink to replenish water in body. It will work best for him.
