Hi
Thank your for asking.
I read carefully all your concerns and I can say as follows;
It is important to avoid constipation especially in cirrhotic patients, this is why I suggest:
- take plenty of water
- use olive oil 2 teaspoon per day
- use vegetables
- use fiber packs 3 per day
- use lactulose 30 ml 3 times per day
- use enema
hope it was helpful to you
