Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have terrible constipation due to medications I take. I have been using MiraLax for the past year but can t find a dose that is consistent. My stools are either diarrhea or small solid hard to pass. I am also having lots of really stinky gas...smells like sewer gas.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You should know that constipation is a problem that could be treated not only using medication. I suggest to eat a lot fruit and vegetables, drink a lot of water and walk every day. As well you should use probiotic to regulate your intestinal flora.
I hope my answer helps you.
Regards.
