How Can Chronic Constipation Be Treated?
I stopped smoking 5 days ago and haven t had a bowel movement since. I have been taking miralax, Metamucil, and lots of vegetables. I walk 3 miles 3x week. I just tried a suppository with no results. I am 68 years old. I am afraid to try a laxative because I had a bad reaction last time. Help

Hello,
Please, try Triphala Churan as it gives very good results, take it as 1 or 2 tsp with lukewarm water at night. It is over the counter product .increase fluid intake.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
