Hi,
You are having laxative abuse. Daily use of milk of magnesia for long time is not recommended.
So to treat constipation you can be prescribed fiber supplement like aristozyme capsule.
You need to take more water and fiber diet.
Avoid gas-forming foods like cabbage, cauliflower etc.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
