consider my guidelines to avoid constipation
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX Greetings
I had gone through your question and I can understand your concern
Due to Constipation stool may get hardened in the intestine and intestinal bacteria may ferment the stool content leading to production of foul smelling and flatulence
This excessive formation of gas and decreased motility of intestine leads to indigestion and less absorption of nutrients from the intestine which may manifest as weakness drowsiness or a headache
I would advise you following guidelines
Have plenty of dietary fiber and fresh fruits or vegetables
take good amount of fluids like water and fresh juices
Avoid fatty fried spicy junk food like pizza burgers and carbonated drinks
you can laxative or stool softening agents to pass the motion in case of chronic constipation
I hope you will find my response helpful and informative please feel free to ask for more clarification
Best wishes

Can you please specifically elaborate - "you can laxative or stool softening agents to pass the motion in case of chronic constipation".
Exact medicine name/agent name.
Is there a way to cure it thru medicines for long term - like any course or something because I have already tried alternatives like warm/hot milk, desi ghee, churan etc but in long term, there has been no relief.
They can cure temporarily
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
Thank you so much for your reply
laxative like lactulose and stool softening agents like liquid paraffin; can give you a temporary relief this may not help you for long run
for long run benefits you need to modify your life style or eating habits
you can take ishabgol husk before bed time
have more fruits and vegetables
go for bowel movements at least twice a day try to be regular
Syrup lactulose or syrup liquid paraffin can be taken for constipation
Hope this addresses your question
best wishes
