General & Family Physician, Dr. Amarnath's Response
In old ages people tend to eat less and less that along with gastritis will reduce the food intake. This is the main reason behind constipation. Take fibre rich food If I were your treating physician I will prescribe antacids and proton pump inhibitor tablets for your gastritis For constipation laxatives can be used as needed it will soften your stools and will help to pass freely Hope this explains With regards Dr.Amarnath.
